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 Ireland 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 Ireland 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.

FAQs –Car Accident Claims in Ireland

A car accident claim is a legal process where you seek compensation for injuries caused by another driver’s negligence. This can include pain and suffering, medical costs, lost income, and damage-related expenses.

This term generally describes an arrangement where legal fees only apply if your case is successful. These are commonly used in personal injury and medical negligence cases in Ireland. For a more detailed explanation of how No Win No Fee arrangements work, including how fees are structured, you can visit our No Win No Fee page.

Get medical attention, report the incident, gather any evidence (photos, dashcam footage, witness details), keep a record of expenses, and speak with a solicitor for advice.

The claim is paid by the at-fault driver’s insurance company. If the driver is uninsured or unidentified, special routes such as the Motor Insurers’ Bureau of Ireland (MIBI) may apply.

Most people have two years from the date of the accident or from the date they first became aware of their injuries.

Timelines vary. Minor injuries may settle quickly, while more serious injuries may take longer. Once your medical report is ready, we can give a clearer estimate.

No. Many settle through negotiation or after the Injuries Resolution Board (IRB) assessment. Court is only needed when a settlement cannot be agreed.

Compensation is based on medical reports, the Personal Injury Guidelines, and any financial losses such as medical bills or lost income.

You may still be able to claim. Irish law allows for shared liability, which may reduce but does not prevent compensation.

You can begin by filling out the enquiry form or contacting our team to discuss what happened. We’ll review your situation, explain your options, and guide you through the next steps in the claims process.
