O’Reilly Doherty & Co., established as a general solicitors practice in the year 1984, is a leading practice that deals with catastrophic accident claims in Dublin.

Catastrophic injury is defined as a personal injury that results in a permanent disability, requiring the person to receive lifelong care and assistance in all activities of daily living or a substantial part thereof.

They can be extremely complex cases as the settlements have to look at the cost of care for the duration of the plaintiff’s lifetime, and placing the defendant in a position where they can accurately budget for their care costs.

Catastrophic injuries claims are difficult cases as the costs of future care and medical treatment are hard to quantify. When such uncertainty exists, the courts have approved interim awards.

This approach requires court applications at each interim stage, involving submissions regarding the injured party’s progress and costs of treatment.
