Injuries Board Compensation
Free Accident Assessment

There are several misconceptions surrounding the role of the Injuries Board Ireland which, over the years, have developed into modern day urban myths. One such misconception concerns the alleged “fact” that the Injuries Board Ireland pays compensation to victims of accidents. Inasmuch as assessments for compensation are made by the Injuries Board, the actual amount of compensation still has to be paid by the negligent party responsible for your injuries.

How the urban myth about Injuries Board compensation got started is unclear. Possibly it has something to do with the success of the Injuries Board Ireland in reducing the length of time a claim for compensation takes to process from three years to nine months, or because all personal injury claims for compensation (with the exception of medical negligence cases) now have to be processed by the Injuries Board Ireland before compensation can be paid.

Claiming Injuries Board Compensation

The process for claiming compensation when you have been injured in an accident for which you were not entirely to blame, starts with an application form sent to the Injuries Board Ireland. On the application form you have to detail how the accident occurred, what injuries were sustained, how they were treated and who was to blame. This form has to be accompanied by a medical assessment confirming your injuries to the Injuries Board. Compensation amounts are then assessed according to the “Book of Quantum”, with special damages to allow for any loss of earnings and out-of-pocket expenses.

Although this process appears straightforward, it is highly complex and best done with the assistance of a specialist personal injury claims solicitor. There are certain circumstances which are not accounted for on the Injuries Board Ireland application form and it is essential that the application form is comprehensively completed if you aim to receive a fair and adequate level of compensation. At a time when your capabilities may be impaired by the injuries you have sustained in an accident, it is always in your best interests, when intending to make a claim for personal injury compensation to the Injuries Board Ireland,to seek the assistance of a specialist personal injury claims solicitor.
