Frequently Asked Questions
Find helpful answers to the most common questions about personal injury
Your first priority should always be medical attention. Then, note the key details about the accident such as the time, location, and cause of the accident. If it is a road traffic accident get the details of the other driver to include name, address, car registration and insurance details. If possible take photographs of the accident location and any visible physical injuries you have such as bruising, cuts etc. Consult a solicitor as soon as possible. A Personal Injury Solicitor can help you understand the legal process and strict time limits apply under Irish law.
Under Irish law, most personal injury claims have two years (two years less one day) from the date of the accident or when you discovered your injury. There are some exceptions as well like claims involving children or delayed medical diagnosis. In those cases, different rules may apply. Strict Time Limits apply and it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB) is an independent statutory body. It assesses most personal injury claims in Ireland. Before going to court, nearly all claims (except for medical negligence) must first be submitted to PIAB. We can guide you through and make the Application to the Personal Injuries Assessment Board on your behalf. We will also advise you regarding any Assessment made by the Personal Injuries Assessment Board. You do not have to accept the Assessment and it is important that you are properly advised before accepting any Assessment.
Good documentation helps support your claim. So, evidence such as medical reports, photographs of the scene, witness statements, CCTV footage and any receipts for any expenses related to the injury helps to show how exactly the accident happened and how it affected you. We will assist you in obtaining all the necessary information.
Every case is different and timelines vary depending on the complexity of the case. A Personal Injury Lawyer can advise you after reviewing your case.

PIAB independently reviews the evidence and issues an assessment of compensation. If both the parties accept the assessment, the matter ends there. A Solicitor can advise you on whether the Assessment is reasonable. If you are not satisfied with the Assessment, Court Proceedings can issue however the case may not go to Court, some cases settle in advance of a Court date. We can explain this process to you.

Members of An Garda Síochána injured in the line of duty can apply under this scheme. It covers injuries caused by malicious acts while performing official duties. A solicitor helps prepare the application, collect evidence, and ensure deadlines are met correctly.
