Under the Personal Injuries Assessment Board Act 2003, anyone intending to seek compensation for a Personal Injury (other than a personal injury arising out of medical negligence) must make an Application to InjuriesBoard.ie, previously known as PIAB.  The process is designed to work as follows:

• Claim is submitted to Injuries Board.
• Injuries Board issue a Formal Notice of the Claim to the Respondent.
• If the Respondent refuses to consent then an authorisation is issued from the Injuries Board which allows the claimant to proceed with their court summons.
• If the Respondent consents to an Injuries Board assessment then the Injuries Board arrange an Independent Medical Examination to assess the pain, suffering and expense incurred by the injured party.
• Assessment is made and Claimant and Respondent are notified of assessment i.e. level of compensation being awarded.
• Both parties accept the assessment and InjuriesBoard.ie issues an Order to Pay and a cheque issues shortly thereafter.
•  If neither party accepts the assessment, the authorisation then issues and the claimant is allowed to proceed with their court summons.   

You have two years from the date of the accident to make a claim.    You are encouraged not to delay with your claim.    However, this should be balanced by not making a claim until the full extent of your injuries and any associated complications are fully known.  This will ensure the full extent of your injuries and impact on your health will be diagnosed.

We will use our own independent panel of expert advisors to ensure the impact of your injuries are quantified.
