After a car accident

Evidence first. Get the details recorded properly while they are still fresh.

DlíWise helps you understand your situation, get your facts and documents in order, and take the next practical step — in Ireland, with the source and date shown.

What DlíWise does here

  • Walk you through recording what happened, where, when and who was involved
  • Keep photographs, dashcam files and witness details together and time-stamped
  • Explain the notification steps and which organisations are involved
  • Produce a clean factual record you can give to an insurer or a solicitor

What it will not do

  • Advise on an injury claim or its value - that is solicitor work
  • Deal with any insurer on your behalf
  • Assess fault or liability
