Guide only — this matter needs a solicitor. Under Irish law this work must be carried out by a solicitor, so it is not sold on this site. The information below explains what is involved so you can brief a solicitor with confidence.
OnlineLegalServices.ie is operated by Plus Promotions Limited, which is not a solicitor’s practice and does not give legal advice. To instruct a regulated practice, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
A personal injury claim pre-assessment in Ireland is a confidential solicitor review of whether a claim is likely to succeed, before you commit. A solicitor would review your circumstances, assesses them against Injuries Resolution Board criteria, analyses the time limits and recommends next steps, with no obligation.
Where your matter needs legal work, you instruct a solicitor directly; we provide information and self-complete templates only. The price is set, with no billable hours and no surprise invoices, and the service is fully online, so there is no need to travel to an office.
The price shown is the full professional fee for the service as described, and any third-party or State fees are listed separately where they apply. If your matter needs more than this service covers, a solicitor would explain the options before any further work is done.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a personal injury pre-assessment cost?
Fees for work of this kind are typically set on application: a solicitor would typically confirm the fee once the matter has been reviewed and before any work begins. Any third-party or State fees are listed separately where they apply. You request an assessment, and costs are confirmed in writing before any work begins.
What is the time limit for a personal injury claim?
Generally two years from the date of the accident or date of knowledge.
Am I obliged to proceed?
No. The next steps are recommendations, with no obligation.
