accident, are intended to compensate you for the impact the injury has and will have on your life. This includes pain and suffering, whether mild or severe, sustained from the injury. This pain can be physical but also psychological. Read more on Post-Traumatic Stress Claims.\u00a0The amount awarded will also be based on the impact of your injuries on your daily life, such as short-term or permanent disability or disfigurement. A further consideration for the compensation end figure includes which areas of the body were temporarily or permanently affected.<br>Read More about General Damages<\/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 to know if I have a case?<\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>How to know if I have a case?<\/h3>\n\n<p>Before accepting your instructions, we will have discussed your case with you and will have advised you of the strengths and weaknesses (if any) of your case. In many cases, it is very clear from the outset that an injured party will succeed in being fully compensated, for example, where the injury results from a motor accident when the client is a passenger, to give but one example. In some cases, the courts apportion liability, i.e. they rule in favour of the Plaintiff but make a deduction from the full value of the case on the basis of the Plaintiff\u2019s \u201ccontributory negligence.\u201d<\/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 if I was partly to blame for the accident?<\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<h3>What if I was partly to blame for the accident?<\/h3>\n\n<p>It is important to note that many valid claims are never brought because an injured party feels the accident was his own fault, whereas the primary cause of the accident may well rest with some other party, and the injured party\u2019s own carelessness may only have been a contributing factor. In such cases, the courts may apportion Liability. It is therefore always advisable to consult a solicitor concerning any injury resulting from an accident.<\/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 to get paid after the Settlement?<\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<h3>How long does it take to get paid after the Settlement?<\/h3>\n\n<p>Following a settlement or a Court Award, it typically takes about 4 weeks for payment to be issued by the major Insurance companies. Local Authorities can take longer, usually about 4 \u2013 8 weeks.<\/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>Who pays out the compensation award?<\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<h3>Who pays out the compensation award?<\/h3>\n\n<p>A compensation figure is first offered by the defendant\u2019s insurance company, which often makes a low-value offer to your solicitor. Their objective is to pay out less money.\u00a0In most cases, your solicitor will reject this offer when the defendant appears to be liable. It\u2019s always the insurance company.<\/p>\n\n<p>Defendants and their insurance companies will want to avoid the expense of going to Court. Once the insurance company recognises the defendants&#8217; liability position,\u00a0an appropriate settlement offer will be made. If the case is complicated, this can cause delays.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>Once an insurance company has admitted liability on behalf of the defendant and agreed to process the claim, the process moves quickly. Typically, the claimant will receive their compensation payment (from the initial offer to the agreed offer)\u00a0within a few weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e98f4e95a8c6fa6ef7c0926c96d15cc1\" id=\"h-what-is-a-personal-injury-claim\" style=\"font-size:36px\">What is a Personal Injury Claim?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ae0023635b3e5a33abc636be0beb9878\">A personal injury is defined as either a physical injury, disease or illness, or a psychological injury \/ condition that has been caused by someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ef570ac32584b0b1c63c489145f10eb4\">If you were injured in an accident due to no fault or your own, Irish law entitles you to claim&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.synnottlawline.ie\/what-is-cap-general-damages\/\"><em><u>General Damages<\/u><\/em>&nbsp;<\/a>compensation for your injuries sustained, Loss of Income, Future Care and possibly other&nbsp;<em>Special Damages.<\/em>&nbsp;Our personal injury solicitors deal with a wide range of minor to catastrophic and life changing injuries.
