Personal injury solicitors are professionals who can represent you in court however the majority of claims do not start in court. They are required by law to start with the Injuries Board. The personal injury solicitors are able to handle all aspects of the case on your behalf, such as pursuing settlement offers, dealing with the defendant, and attending court hearings if necessary. This is beneficial when bringing your case to a personal injury solicitor because it could be stressful for you to deal with written correspondence from the defendant or attend Court on your own should the case require you to do so. Solicitors are also likely to know more about the law and how courts work than an individual person would, which means they can better represent your injury case. This can significantly improve the likelihood of success.
This is where Gibson & Associates LLP personal injury solicitors can help you get the best possible outcome for your injury case.

WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?
Personal injury is a term that refers to physical injuries, mental injuries, and property damage caused by another party’s negligence. This type of injury may allow you to file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party to recover compensation for the negative financial or personal consequences of their actions.
HOW TO MAKE A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?
If you want to make a personal injury claim for compensation you can submit your application online or send your personal injury application and forms by post.
How to apply
HOW LONG DOES A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM TAKE IN IRELAND?
Before you can file a personal injury claim in court, you must submit your case to PIAB (the Personal Injuries Assessment Board). The respondent has 90 days to agree to the process, and then the Board will assess your claim. Currently, it takes seven months for PIAB to assess cases and recommend awards. At most this will take nine months.
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF "PIAB"?
The PIAB (Personal Injury Assessment Board) is an independent body that provides an assessment of personal injury claims for compensation following road traffic, workplace or public liability accidents. You can read more about Making a Claim and Responding to a Claim on PIAB’s website.
WHAT IS THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS?
Taking personal injury claim time limit into consideration, it is very important to know how long you have to make a claim – if you have suffered a personal injury that some else was responsible for, you may be entitled to make a claim to recover damages for the personal injury and losses incurred as a result of personal injury. In most instances you need to make your claim within 2 years of the accident. These time limits are referred to as the Statute of Limitations. They are set out in the Statute of Limitations Act 1957.
WHAT DOES “NO WIN NO FEE” MEAN?
The concept of ‘no win no fee’ also known as no foal no fee is common practice amongst solicitors in Ireland. Some Irish solicitors provide fee agreements known as no win no fee solicitors’ agreements. Under this type of agreement, the solicitor will take on your personal injury or any other type of case under a no win no fee basis. If you don’t win, they don’t charge. The successful resolution can also come about by settling outside of Court or in Court and the legal fees would then apply.
The sole purpose of a ‘no win no fee’ or ‘no foal no fee’ is to give you the legal power to pursue a claim regardless of how your financial state or legal experience is, ‘no win no fee’ or ‘no foal no fee’ are a well known term in the litigation services should you have the need to make a claim or defend yourself against one.
WHAT TYPE OF PERSONAL INJURIES CAN I CLAIM FOR?
The most common types of personal injury cases are vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, slip and fall cases, work place accidents, dog bites, product liabilities, and nursing home malpractice/abuse. For example, a motor vehicle accident due to the other person’s negligence is a personal injury case.
*In contentious business, a solicitor may not calculate fees or other charges as a percentage or proportion of any award or settlement.
