You remain responsible for this amount even where you reach a settlement with the defendant or any other third party and a term of that settlement is that you will be paid your costs. This is also the case where the defendant or other third party is ordered by a court to pay your costs. Your solicitor will seek to recover as much as possible of the charges from the defendant or other third party. When the monies are recovered, if you have already paid your solicitor, the monies will be refunded to you, less any costs incurred in their recovery. Otherwise, they will be set off against the full amount due to your solicitor. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>The amount which the defendant or other third party may agree or may be ordered to pay will not generally be sufficient to set off your solicitor\u2019s entire charges. Insofar as the costs recovered from the other party are insufficient to discharge your liability to your solicitor, then you remain liable to make up the shortfall.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Even where your solicitor is satisfied that you have a good case, the law requires that it is explained to you that, in the event of the following circumstances arising, you may be liable to pay, in addition to your own costs, the costs of the Defendant or other third parties. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div>Medical Examinations<\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<h2>Medical Examinations<\/h2>\n\n<p>For the purposes of your claim, we will request that your doctor and\/or the casualty consultant at any hospital you may have attended, and any other medical practitioners, prepare medical\/legal reports on your injuries. \n\n<ul>\n  <li> Sometimes the medical practitioners may furnish reports based on the notes taken during their previous examination of you, but very often they will write back to us with a date, time and venue for a medical examination.\n<\/li>\n  <li> We will notify you in writing of all medical appointments we receive on your behalf.

First, we need a Medical Report from your treating doctor, outlining all injuries sustained as a result of your accident. We will then send a copy of this report to you, along with a <strong>Form A <\/strong> \u2013 an application form which must be signed by you in order for us to process your claim with the Injuries Board.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div>What is the time limit for children under 18 to start an injury case?<\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<h2>What is the time limit for children under 18 to start an injury case?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Persons under the age of 18 are known as minors or infants in law. Minors are not allowed to bring proceedings in their own name; they must be represented by a \u201cnext friend,\u201d usually one of their parents. If a minor reaches the age of 18 before the claim is settled, they can continue the proceedings in their own name. The claim amount awarded to a minor is deposited into the court&#8217;s bank account and becomes payable to the minor with interest once they turn 18. The court must approve any settlement of a case involving a minor.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in theory, a four-year-old, has sixteen years to start proceedings, although a significant delay could cause serious difficulties and might give the defendant grounds to apply for a dismissal of the claim on the basis that his right to defend has been prejudiced by the delay. It should be noted that it can take time to have legal proceedings issued, so you should not leave it until the last few weeks before the expiry of the statute to instruct your solicitor in the matter.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-darvu-blocks-darvu-blocks-10-variable-container-block\"><div class=\"container\" style=\"width:nullpx\"><div class=\"background-colour-panel\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-grey-dark-body-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a9478e57a3d409e83e247f9a570270c1\" id=\"h-faqs-going-to-court\" style=\"font-size:36px\">FAQs \u2013 Going to Court<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-d7b99049\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion exclusive has-light-active-title-bg\">\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div>Will my case go to Court?<\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<h2>Will my case go to Court?<\/h2>\n\n<p>We deal with every case on the basis that it may end up in Court \u2013 in reality cases don\u2019t always go to court and usually settle beforehand.

An appeal from the High Court is made to the Supreme Court. This is a much rarer occurrence. As a general rule, an appeal cannot be made against the decision of the lower court on the grounds of liability, but only on \u201cQuantum\u201d.

PIAB evaluates compensation for all personal injuries sustained in road accidents, workplace incidents, and public place accidents. All personal injury claims must go through PIAB first, and this is best handled by your solicitor. PIAB does not review medical negligence cases for assessment. If PIAB is processing an assessment, it can take up to nine months from the date of application to complete it.\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div>Why is the Injuries Resolution Board involved in my claim?<\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<h2>Why is the Injuries Resolution Board involved in my claim?<\/h2>\n\n<p>All Personal Injury Cases under Irish law, except Medical Negligence, must first be processed through The Injuries Resolution Board (formerly known as PIAB). Once you have instructed us to commence proceedings for your case, we handle all dealings with PIAB on your behalf.

If the wrong party is identified in your application, an order for Costs against you. This means you will be responsible for the legal fees.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>The Law Society Recommendation:<\/strong> The Law Society of Ireland have recommended obtaining legal advice when dealing with PIAB. \u2013 \u2018Legal representation is necessary to guarantee the rights of victims of accidents against the interest of big business and the insurance industry\u2018.<\/li>\n <li><strong>Complexity of Application:<\/strong> Dealing with PIAB can be complex. PIAB DOES NOT assist you in completing the application form, nor will they advise you as to the correct identity of the person or persons at fault. See Problems with making your own PIAB application.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Running of the Time Limit:<\/strong> You have two years from the date of your accident within which to make an application to PIAB\u2026 *REMEMBER* that if you name the wrong party, the two-year time limit is still running against the correct respondent.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div>You will need a Medical Report<\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<h2>You will need a Medical Report<\/h2>\n\n<p>In order for our firm to put your claim through PIAB, we must first obtain your medical report. We obtain this report from your treating doctor, outlining all injuries sustained as a result of your accident. This report is very important, as PIAB will base its assessment of your claim solely on the contents of your medical report, along with a second report from\u00a0an independent medical practitioner. We will then send a copy of this report to you, along with an application form (Form A), which must be signed by you in order for us to process your claim with the Injuries Board.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div>How long does it take for my case to go through the Injuries Resolution Board?<\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<h2>How long does it take for my case to go through the Injuries Resolution Board?<\/h2>\n\n<p>If the board is going ahead with an assessment, it has 9 months from the date of application to make an assessment.
