Claim Process

 In Ireland, claimants must undergo a pre-litigation process before commencing personal injury litigation. The first step involves reporting the incident to the relevant authority, such as the Gardai (for road traffic accidents) or the employer (for workplace accidents). Following this, claimants must submit their claim to the PIAB for assessment. The claimant may proceed to court if the claim is not resolved through the PIAB process.  Once in court, the claimant must prove that the defendant owed a duty of care, breached that duty, and that the breach caused the injury. The court will consider evidence presented by both parties, including medical reports, witness testimonies, and expert opinions. If the claim is successful, the court will determine the appropriate level of damages to be awarded.
