Facial fracture claims in Ireland refer to legal cases where individuals seek compensation for injuries involving fractures to the bones in the face. These fractures can occur in various areas, such as the frontal facial bones, facial bones as a whole, nose or nasal complex, cheekbones, and jaws. The severity of the fracture and its resulting consequences, such as permanent damage, deformity, breathing difficulties, nerve damage, or eating restrictions, can affect the compensation awarded. These claims aim to provide financial restitution for the physical and emotional impact caused by facial fractures, helping individuals recover and restore their quality of life.
Compensation range: €50,000-€80,000
Involving some permanent facial deformity. Compensation range: €25,000-€50,000
Please note that these figures are provided as guidelines, and each case is treated uniquely by the court.
Our team of experienced solicitors in Ireland is here to assist you with your claim. We understand that facial fracture 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 facial fracture 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 send a formal notification of the claim to the defendant(s). The defendant(s) have 90 days to indicate whether or not they consent to the assessment of the claim. If the defendant consents, PIAB will proceed with the assessment. If they decline, an Authorisation will be granted to allow the claimant to bring court proceedings.
If PIAB is assessing the claim, it usually takes around 9 months for them to issue their assessment. This assessment reflects the general and special damages awarded in respect of 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 expert 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 date of the accident within which to issue proceedings. If you are under 18, a separate set of rules apply, and we would recommend you contact our solicitors to discuss these. Learn more about the statute of limitations.
Our dedicated team has over 30 years of collective experience, and we are ready to advise and assist you with your building site accident claim. Our team can guide you through the PIAB application and advise on the best course of action to take to ensure you are awarded the fairest compensation for your individual case.
