Why Should I Appoint a Solicitor?

By Tim Healy

A girl who suffered a catastrophic brain injury when a car driven by a doctor struck her at a pedestrian crossing has settled a High Court action for almost €3m.

Ashleigh Carroll, then 14, was walking to school when she was propelled into the air by the car which had sped along a bus lane in Coolock, Dublin, six years ago.

Her counsel, Richard Kean SC, told the court witnesses said the driver, a doctor from Egypt working at Beaumont Hospital in Dublin, drove at speed along the bus lane and struck the girl who was crossing at pedestrian traffic lights.

Disclaimer

**In contentious business, and in accordance with section 149 of the Legal Services Regulations Act 2015, a legal practitioner shall not charge any amount in respect of legal costs expressed as a percentage or proportion of any damages (or other moneys) that may become payable to his or her client or purport to set out the legal costs to be charged to a junior counsel as a specified percentage or proportion of the legal costs paid to a senior counsel. A legal practitioner shall not without the prior written agreement of his or her client deduct or appropriate any amount in respect of legal costs from the amount of any damages or moneys that become payable to the client in respect of legal services that the legal practitioner provided to the client.

* In contentious business, a solicitor may not calculate fees or other charges as a percentage or proportion of any award or settlement in accordance with section 149 of the Legal Services Regulation Act 2015.

** Subject to Legal Services Regulation Act 2015 (Advertising) Regulations 2020: Regulation 6(c) - "...a legal practitioner shall not refer to the quantum of a possible award of damages save insofar as by reference to the Personal Injuries Assessment Board Book of Quantum or other guidelines as may be published by the Personal Injuries Assessment Board or other statutory authority or statutory body."

* No Win No Fee Explained - A ‘no win, no fee’ arrangement is a financial agreement between a solicitor and client where the solicitor agrees to be paid only if the case is won. This arrangement is often used in personal injury and other civil cases, and it enables people who may not be able to afford the cost of a solicitor upfront to still pursue legal action. The exact terms of the agreement, including what defines a “win” and any additional costs that the client may be liable for, should be clearly defined in the contract between the client and the solicitor.
