A personal injury claim is a legal action seeking financial compensation (damages) from the party whose negligence, breach of duty, or wrongful act caused you physical or psychological harm. In Ireland, almost all personal injury claims — with the exception of medical negligence — must first be processed through the Injuries Resolution Board (IRB), formerly known as PIAB.
The IRB assesses claims using the Judicial Council Personal Injuries Guidelines and issues a recommended settlement. If either party rejects the recommendation, the case proceeds to court. Having an experienced personal injury solicitor throughout this process significantly improves your prospects of a fair outcome.

All personal injury claims in Ireland (except medical negligence) follow a structured legal process:
Personal injury compensation in Ireland is calculated using the Judicial Council Personal Injuries Guidelines (2021). Awards consist of:
| Injury Type | Compensation Range |
|---|---|
| Minor soft tissue injury — short-term | €5,000 – €15,000 |
| Back or neck injury — moderate, with physiotherapy | €20,000 – €35,000 |
| Fractures — wrist, ankle, or collarbone | €25,000 – €55,000 |
| Serious injury with permanent impairment | €80,000 – €250,000+ |
| Catastrophic injury (brain, spinal cord) | €500,000 – €2,000,000+ |
While the IRB system was designed to allow claimants to proceed without a solicitor, in practice having experienced legal representation dramatically improves the accuracy of your application, the quality of medical evidence, and the likelihood of a fair settlement. Insurers have legal teams working in their favour — you should too.
The Injuries Resolution Board (formerly PIAB) is the State body responsible for assessing most personal injury claims in Ireland. It reviews applications, commissions independent medical assessments, and issues recommended settlement awards. Filing with the IRB also pauses the 2-year statute of limitations.
Straightforward cases with clear liability and medical evidence may settle within 9–18 months through the IRB process. More complex cases, or those that proceed to court, can take 2–4 years. We keep you updated throughout and work to achieve the best outcome as efficiently as possible.
Yes. Under contributory negligence principles, your compensation is reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to you. For example, if you are found 20% responsible, your award is reduced by 20%. You can still make a valid claim even where you share partial responsibility.
