Personal Injury Claims

IMMEDIATE CALLBACK:

Tiernan & Co. Solicitors specialises in personal injury cases across Ireland. If you have been injured through no fault of your own, you may be entitled to compensation — and we will guide you through every step of the process.

You can claim for any injury you have suffered as a result of someone else’s negligence, whether physical or psychological, such as post-traumatic stress. You can also claim for financial losses incurred as a direct result of the accident, for example medical bills or lost income, allowing you time to recover without the financial worry.

The process

What you can expect during your claim

The aftermath of an accident is stressful, and most people don’t know what to expect. Here is how a claim typically works from start to finish.

1

Check your claim is valid

We talk through what happened and confirm you have a valid claim: an accident within the last two years, caused by another’s fault, that left you injured. Medical treatment claims are handled separately as medical negligence.

2

Assessment by the Injuries Resolution Board

We gather your medical and supporting evidence and apply to the Injuries Resolution Board, which assesses the claim under the Personal Injuries Guidelines.

3

Settlement or court

Most claims settle without a hearing. If the assessment is rejected, we can pursue the claim through the courts and negotiate a settlement on your behalf.

Compensation

What is taken into account

Since most accident claims are settled, it helps to understand the factors used to determine the amount of compensation.

How your quality of life was impacted
Loss of earnings from time away from work
Loss of future earnings and earning capacity
Medical costs for treatment of your injury
Future medical costs for long-term care
Travel and other out-of-pocket expenses
Psychological injuries
Important — time limits apply

In most cases you have two years from the date of the accident, or from the date you first became aware of your injury, to begin a claim. Once that period passes you are generally prevented from claiming, so it is wise to seek advice early. For a fuller explanation, see our guide on how long you have to claim.
