It’s essential to consult with a back and neck injury claim solicitor specialising in personal injury claims to understand the specific circumstances of your case and the legal options available to you. They can provide you with appropriate advice based on the details of your situation.
In Ireland, back and neck injury claims can arise from various causes, including road accidents, workplace accidents, and incidents in public places. Here are some common causes divided into these categories:
It’s important to note that the causes of back and neck injuries may vary; these examples are not exhaustive. Suppose you have experienced a back or neck injury in any of these situations. In that case, it is advisable to consult with a Solicitor specialising in personal injury claims to assess the specifics of your case and explore your legal options.
Our team of experienced back and neck injury claim solicitors in Ireland is here to assist you with your claim. We understand that back and neck injury claims can be complex, and our solicitors will work with you every step of the way to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
The first step in making a back and neck injury claim in Ireland is to make an application to the Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB). PIAB handles claims related to workplace injuries, road traffic accidents, serious injuries, and accidents in public places.
Your solicitor will gather all the necessary evidence, including medical reports and expert reports, and submit them to PIAB on your behalf.
Once the application is submitted, PIAB will formally notify the defendant(s) of the claim. The defendant(s) have 90 days to indicate whether or not they consent to the claim assessment. If the defendant consents, PIAB will proceed with the assessment. If they decline, an Authorisation will allow the claimant to bring court proceedings.
If PIAB is assessing the claim, issuing their assessment usually takes 9 months. This assessment reflects the general and special damages awarded regarding your claim. If both parties accept the assessment, PIAB will issue an Order to Pay, which must be discharged by the defendant(s) within 10 days. A settlement cheque will then be issued to the claimant. If either party rejects the assessment, an Authorisation will be granted by PIAB to bring court proceedings. Our back and neck injury claim solicitors will then work with you to ensure that your case is heard in court and that you receive the compensation you deserve.
You have two years from the accident date to issue proceedings for a back and neck injury claim. If you are under 18, a separate set of rules apply, and we would recommend you contact our solicitors to talk about these. Learn more about the statute of limitation
