Personal Injury*

Personal injury claims are designed to ensure a person is compensated for medical expenses and the time they may be unable to work while recuperating from an injury.  All personal injury cases, excluding cases involving medical negligence, are first sent to the Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB). This is a government organisation set up to handle personal injury claims. A personal injury solicitor submits the claim to the PIAB. The board assesses the evidence and the injuries before suggesting a compensation amount. The claimant and negligent party then decide if they are willing to accept and or pay this amount. If one or both parties refuse, then and only then will the personal injury claim go to the courts. The vast majority of personal injury claims are settled at the PIAB stage.
