A personal injury claim is a legal action initiated by someone who has been injured or involved in an accident due to actions or negligence of a third party. As a result,  you are allowed to proceed with a personal injury claim to get compensation under such matters. Such a claim can be pursued on a ‘No Win No Fee’ basis.

Established in 1984, O’Reilly Doherty & Co. is one of the leading law firms in personal injury litigation.

If you have a query in relation to taking a personal injury* claim then we would be happy to discuss it with you. There is no charge for a consultation to discuss any potential claim.

What is a No Win No Fee Agreement?

No Win No Fee solicitors’ agreements mean that you won’t pay the solicitor’s fees in a case that you don’t succeed with. However, you will have to pay the due fees upon succeeding with the case as per the agreement. The solicitor’s fees can then be deducted from the compensation ordered. This is a common practice that protects the interests of the client.

Regulations of No Win No Fee

The Law Society of Ireland regulates solicitors in Ireland. One part of this regulation is the solicitors advertising regulation of 2002 that prohibits the solicitors from advertising in a way that can be interpreted as providing services for free or at a reduced cost. Therefore, the No Win No Fee solicitors’ agreement cannot be advertised.

However, one can personally discuss if a solicitor is offering services on a No Win No Fee basis. There are no restrictions on asking for an agreement over calls or email.

How does it help you?

No Win No Fee solicitor enables any person to file a personal injury claim irrespective of financial status. Since the solicitor will get paid only upon winning the case, it typically provides the claimant with an insight into the strength of their defence when the case is taken on.

Things you must look for:

  • Don’t deal with solicitors openly advertising to be No Win No Fee solicitors; it’s a breach of the Solicitors Act, 1954.

  • Be informed about the fee to be paid if the personal injury claim is successful. The amount differs as per the nature of the case.

  • Although few solicitors offer themselves as No Win No Fee solicitors, they may still expect some payment after unsuccessful claims. This includes medical expenses and court stamp duty. Get in touch with the solicitor to know all about the agreement.
