What Is a Low-Impact Collision Claim?

A low-impact collision claim is a personal injury claim made after an accident where vehicles collide at a relatively low speed or with minimal visible damage, yet the injured person still suffers real physical harm.

These incidents often occur when another driver:

  • Was distracted
  • Failed to brake in time
  • Misjudged distance or speed
  • Rolled forward in traffic or at a roundabout
  • Didn’t notice a stopped or slowing vehicle
  • Followed too closely in slow-moving traffic

If the accident was not your fault, you may still be entitled to compensation for your injuries and financial losses, even if the driver cannot be held personally accountable.

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.
