    You are possibly better off finding a small local practice that is convenient to you. First chat is usually free and if they see merit in the case are often willing to wait for resolution before billing you. Ask the solicitor "What do I need to do?". Also start writing down all the detail you can and have some notes that you can give the solicitor first day.

    Be aware that if you lose, you end up paying legal fees for both sides.

    go to www.piab.ie its the new statutory body set up to deal with workplace injuries. Its fuction is to cut out the high fees associated with solicitors and barristers so win or lose it shouldnt cost too much

    Be aware that if you do proceed on a no-win, no-fee basis, your solicitor will take a substantial chunk of any award (30%-40%) at the end of the day.

    AFAIK all new personal injury claims have to go through the PIAB now, however if the other side doesnt accept liability then your proceed to a solicitor. Early & Baldwin in Fairview were good NWNF solicitors a few years ago, I'd give them a ring if I were you.
