  • How much do solicitors charge for personal injury claims in Ireland
    The cost of pursuing a personal injury claim in Ireland is dependent on many factors. At Finghin O'Driscoll we advise on costs at the onset and won’t take a case if we feel it’s unlikely to be successful. Most personal injury cases don’t end up in court. Instead, they are referred to the injuries board. The injuries board access the details of the case and will award a settlement amount. If both the claimant and defendant agree to this number, the payment is made and the case is settled. When this happens the claimant's solicitor's costs are subtracted from this settlement. Sometimes, the defendants’ legal team may look to agree on a settlement after the claim has been sent to the injuries board but before the injuries board announces their decision. If a settlement amount is agreed upon at this stage of the process, the claimant’s legal costs are usually paid out of this settlement. If the defendant's legal team refuses to pay the legal costs at this juncture, the case will remain with the injuries board. It’s very important to remember that no matter at what stage of proceedings the case settles on, a solicitor’s fee cannot be calculated as a percentage of the final settlement. Solicitor’s fees are calculated based on the work and time spent on an individual case. Solicitor/client Fees are costs a solicitor will charge to the client directly. These are fees that cannot be recovered from the defendant and are billed directly to the client. At Finghin O'Driscoll Solicitors we advise on these fees at the outset of your case.
