What Is a Paralysis Claim?

A paralysis claim is a serious injury claim made when an accident causes a partial or complete loss of movement or sensation in one or more parts of the body. These life-changing injuries often occur due to:

  • Road traffic accidents
  • Workplace accidents
  • Falls from height
  • Medical negligence
  • Public place accidents
  • Violent or traumatic incidents

If the accident was not your fault, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and financial losses.

  • Hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body)

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.
