In Ireland, most personal injury claims begin with an application to the Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB). At Synnott Lawline, we guide you through this process, handling the paperwork and ensuring your claim is properly valued. If your claim isn't settled through PIAB, we can represent you in court proceedings to secure fair compensation for your injuries.

The Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB) is an independent statutory body that assesses personal injury claims in Ireland without the need for litigation. It's usually the first mandatory step in the claims process. Our solicitors at Synnott Lawline will help you navigate the PIAB process, ensure all documentation is correctly submitted, and advise whether to accept their assessment or proceed to court.

The timeframe varies depending on the complexity of your case. Simple claims through PIAB may be resolved in 9-12 months, while more complex cases that proceed to court can take 18-36 months. At Synnott Lawline, we work efficiently to progress your claim as quickly as possible while ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.

At Synnott Lawline, we typically operate on a 'no win, no fee' basis for personal injury claims. This means you only pay legal fees if your claim is successful. There are some standard costs such as medical report fees and the PIAB application fee, which we'll explain clearly at the outset. Our free ebook provides a comprehensive breakdown of potential costs involved.

While you can represent yourself, having expert legal representation significantly increases your chances of receiving fair compensation. At Synnott Lawline, our experienced solicitors understand the complexities of Irish injury law, can accurately value your claim, negotiate effectively with insurance companies, and represent your interests throughout the PIAB process and court proceedings if necessary.
