What Is a Paralysis Injury Claim in Dublin?

A paralysis injury claim in Dublin allows you to seek compensation for injuries that result in partial or total loss of movement, sensation, or function. Paralysis often occurs due to serious accidents like road traffic accidents, workplace injuries, falls, or medical malpractice.

If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, we can help you claim compensation for medical bills, lost wages, emotional suffering, and future care needs.

Common Causes of Paralysis Injuries

Paralysis injuries can occur in a number of ways, including:

  • Road traffic accidents (car, motorbike, pedestrian accidents)
  • Workplace accidents (falling from height, heavy lifting, construction site incidents)
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Sports accidents (especially in high-impact sports)
  • Medical malpractice (incorrect surgical procedures or diagnostic errors)
  • Violent incidents or assaults

Even if the injury seemed minor at first, the effects of paralysis can worsen over time, leading to the need for long-term care and rehabilitation. Let us help you understand your rights and pursue your claim for full compensation.

The legal term ‘No Win No Fee’ is used to describe how solicitors take on a case where they pay the costs of the litigation.

Solicitors in who operate on this basis pay all legal costs associated with the personal injury case.

In the vast majority of cases, clients would not be in a position to fund the cost of litigation and therefore it is usual for a specialised Personal Injury/Medical and Dental Negligence law firm to operate on a ‘No Win No Fee’ basis.

It should be noted that there is no prohibition on solicitors in undertaking work on a no win no fee basis, and solicitors are perfectly entitled to offer their services on a no win no fee basis.
