Injuries Board Ireland
Blanchardstown, Castleknock, Dublin City Centre

What is the Injuries Board Ireland?

The Injuries Board Ireland is a State Body that was set up under the Personal Injuries Assessment Board Act 2003 in order to assess all claims for personal injuries (excluding medical /clinical negligence) which happen in the Republic of Ireland. The process involved is not straightforward, and the explanation set out below is a very broad guide only and is not legal advice.

Every person who has an accident in Ireland who wishes to make a claim for compensation (referred to as the claimant) must first apply to the Injuries Board. The application is done by way of a Form A Application Notice together with a medical report completed by your treating doctor. A fee of €45.00 also must be paid.

Once this is received the Injuries Board will then write to the notified Respondents (the parties responsible for the injury) who are named in the Form A application advising them of the intention of the person to take the claim and asking them whether or not they consent to the Injuries Board proceeding to make an assessment.

The Respondents have ninety days to reply to this. If the Respondents agree to the assessment taking place within that ninety-day period then the assessment will proceed. The Injuries Board will attempt to have this process completed within nine months although they can extend this for a further period if they wish. During this process, the Injuries Board may have any claimant medically examined further. A copy of this medical report is made available to the claimant.

At the end of the assessment process, the Injuries Board will make an assessment of what it believes the appropriate compensation is. This assessment is based on the medical report submitted by the treating doctor and the reports, which they obtained themselves. Once the assessment is made either party can accept or reject the assessment within a certain period of time.

What happens if the Assessment is rejected or if the Respondent does not consent to the Injuries Board Process at all?

In such circumstances, the Injuries Board will issue an authorisation to allow the claimant to go to Court.

Why should I use a Solicitor for the Injuries Board process?

  1. The Injuries Board cannot advise you regarding the time limits which apply in relation to taking the claim.
  2. The Injuries Board cannot advise you regarding the identity of the person or company you should make the claim against.
  3. The Injuries Board cannot advise you regarding whether the assessment is good, bad, or indifferent and the insurance company most certainly won’t.
  4. The Injuries Board cannot advise you or the insurance company regarding the implications of you rejecting an assessment.
  5. The Injuries Board won’t try and negotiate on your behalf with the insurance company.
  6. The Injuries Board won’t help prepare the case if the matter is not resolved at the Injuries Board stage.

I was looking for a family law consultation and asked Carmody Moran for one. Unfortunately, they didn't have the capacity, but at least they were nice enough to call me back and reply by email.So the very least you can expect from these specialists is the right attitude (unlike from many others out there on the market), but likely a lot more!

We recently engaged Carmody Moran Solicitors for the purchase of our home, on receiving a recommendation for Caila Ryan specifically. Caila and the team were a pleasure to deal with. Caila was incredibly responsive, efficient and diligent throughout the process. As first time buyers, Caila explained all steps clearly and concisely to us, which eased our stress. Caila and the team went above and beyond for us - and accommodated ad hoc meetings when required. We highly recommend Caila and the team at Carmody Moran.

I have no hesitation recommending her.

Carmody Moran Solicitors exceeded all expectations as a Solicitor. Caila was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. She is exceptionally professional, organised and responsive. We needed her service in buying a house. She made sure that we were in the best position to make the transaction and was extremely thorough and intelligent in her work. She helped us secure the house before another interest rate hike. She went above and beyond as a solicitor and I couldn’t recommend her enough!

We recently closed on a first time house purchase and we were very pleased with how the whole process was handled at Carmody Moran. They always responded clearly and promptly to the many queries I had along the way and were on the ball with following up issues with the sellers solicitors to keep the process moving.The reason I went with them originally over other options was because they gave a very clear breakdown for the charges and the quoted price we were given was transparent and easy to understand compared to other quotes I received.I will definitely use them again if the need arises and recommend them to my friends and family.

I got the keys to my new house a few weeks back. I cannot recommend Carmody Moran Solicitors highly enough. It was a bit lengthy as I was buying and selling at the same time. In such cases you need experienced and competent solicitors such as Carmody Moran Solicitors.Stephanie and Helen were a pleasure to work with. Very transparent and communicative. Also occasionally dealt with Lucy and Caila. They were brilliant as well.I would like to say Thank you to the entire Carmody Moran team.Kenneth

My partner and I recently made the acquisition of our first home and it was a lengthy and difficult process, due to the fact we were buying from a receiver.In such difficult cases, you will need a legal representation as competent and professional as Carmody Moran Solicitors on your side.We were primarily dealing with Stephanie who gave us regular updates, helped us understand what is happening and what to do. We felt our interest always came first which made every appointment with her something we looked forward to.We were also occasionally in contact with Lucy, Niamh and other brilliant members of the firm, all of whom provided an excellent level of support and knowledge in Stephanie's absence.I couldn't recommend Carmody Moran enough. I would like to give a heartfelt thank-you on behalf of myself and my partner to every one involved at the firm who helped us make our dream a reality. We will not hesitate to call upon your services again should the occasion arise.Andrew.

Anthony and his team went above and beyond for me, everything was always looked after and I was constantly kept in the loop for my RTA case. From phone calls to emails to dealing with insurers. Gave me great peace of mind that I chose the right solicitor and Anthony himself is a gentleman. I would highly recommend Carmody Moran Solicitors.
