PIAB Solicitor
Free Accident Assessment

A PIAB solicitor is a personal injury claims solicitor you would use if you have been injured in an accident that was not entirely your fault. This could be due to an accident at work, a road traffic accident or any accident where you have suffered a trip, slip or fall in a public place and are entitled to claim compensation for your injuries. There are many other instances where you may have suffered an injury – not necessarily due to an accident – where somebody else was to blame, and a PIAB solicitor can guide you through the claiming process and ensure that you receive fair and adequate compensation.

Nearly all personal injury claims have to be processed by the PIAB (or as it is now known – the Injuries Board Ireland) and the application process is not always straightforward. Because of the many different types of injury that you might sustain in a variety of different scenarios, it is always best – indeed recommended by the Law Society – that you use the services of a PIAB solicitor when making a claim for compensation through the PIAB Ireland. Once the claim is made, the PIAB solicitor can keep you up to date with its progress, advise on what to do next if the negligent party denies liability for your injuries or if you are approached by his insurance company with an inappropriate offer of early settlement.

What You Can Expect When You Call

The part of our service that surprises many of our clients is that there is no “hard sell”. We understand that you are calling us because you have just been through a traumatic experience, and we offer advice and information without obligation from you to proceed with a claim.

Many callers to our service have been apprehensive about speaking with a PIAB solicitor, especially when considering making a claim against an employer. So we will listen to you with consideration to your personal circumstances and offer advice accordingly.

For many people, this is their first experience with a PIAB solicitor, and what we aim to do on the initial telephone conversation is just to determine whether you have a claim for compensation which is worth your while to pursue and whether you are entitled to make it.

Initially, we would ask you to tell us about your injury – how it occurred, what treatment you received and what impact it has made to your quality of life thereafter. We will also need to know if there are other issues which may complicate your claim such as your employment status or any contributory negligence.

We will try, wherever possible, to make a preliminary assessment of your claim for compensation, advise you of the likelihood of your success and the length of time the claim may take to process. We will also try to give you an indication of the level of compensation we would expect you to receive.

We usually conclude each conversation by recapping the points we have discussed, answering any of your questions which have not been covered and offering a list of options for you to consider. You are under no obligation to act on any of our suggestions and may well wish to take a day or two to reflect on the information we have given you.

Your first step should be to pick up the phone, dial and speak with one of our PIAB solicitors. If it is inconvenient for you to call right now, please leave your contact details in our call-back box below and one of our friendly team will get back in touch with you.
