Ireland has a reputation for being a country where people will resort to legal action in order to try and claim compensation for accidents or medical negligence.
Every day the papers have at least one story of large settlements paid by insurance companies or the state for compensation for injuries received in car accidents, slipping on wet pavements or toilet floors - the list is endless.

In Ireland - there are regulations in place that prevent Solicitors from advertising "No Win No Fee" arrangements. This is to try and reduce the number of claims being brought.

While a solicitor may include the words "personal injuries" in adverts or on his website, he may not refer to personal injuries claims nor the possible outcome of such claims, nor encourage anyone to make a personal injuries claim. Phrases such as "no win no fee" or "free first consultation" are banned, as are expressions like "most cases settle out of court", "insurance cover arranged to cover legal costs" or similar statements. Solicitors are also forbidden to offer hospital or home visits.

Employers body Ibec claims that personal injury compensation in Ireland costs more than €2 billion annually!
The Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB) was established in 2004 - it is a statutory body set up to provide independent assessment of personal injury compensation for victims of Workplace, Motor and Public Liability accidents. This assessment will be provided without the need for most of the current litigation costs, such as Solicitors fees, Barristers fees and Experts fees, associated with such claims. All claims for compensation must now be referred to the PIAB.
