Navigating the process of making an injury claim in Ireland, whether through the Injuries Board or the courts, can be complex and daunting. At CG Solicitors, we understand the importance of having clear, expert guidance through this process to ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to for your injuries. This guide aims to demystify the steps involved in both the Injuries Board application and pursuing a claim through the courts.
The first step in seeking compensation for an injury in Ireland is to submit an application to the Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB), now commonly known as the Injuries Board. This application includes a fully completed Form A, any relevant medical reports detailing your injuries (Form B), and the payment of an application fee.
After your application is submitted, you may be required to undergo an independent medical examination to assess the extent of your injuries. This report will be used by the Injuries Board to evaluate your claim.
The Injuries Board will issue a proposed award based on your medical assessments and the details of your claim. You and the respondent (the party you are claiming against) will have the opportunity to accept or reject this award. If both parties accept, the award is paid, and the case is resolved without going to court.
If your claim is not resolved through the Injuries Board, either because the award is rejected or the board decides it is not within their remit to assess your claim, you can choose to initiate legal proceedings in court.
Securing experienced legal representation is crucial when pursuing a claim through the courts. At CG Solicitors, we have a proven track record of successfully representing our clients in court, ensuring the best possible outcome for their claims.
Your case will be presented in court, where evidence will be examined, and witnesses may be called. The court will then make a decision regarding your claim and the compensation due.
If the court rules in your favor, it will determine the amount of compensation you are to receive. This may include damages for pain and suffering, medical expenses, loss of earnings, and any other losses incurred as a result of the injury.
At CG Solicitors, we specialize in guiding our clients through both the Injuries Board process and court proceedings, should your claim require it. Our expert team is committed to providing clear, comprehensive advice and robust representation, ensuring you understand every aspect of your claim and achieve the best possible outcome.

Facebook and Instagram are owned by Meta Platforms, which operates its European services through Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, headquartered in Dublin. Under Meta’s commercial terms, if the dispute is with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, the claim must be resolved in the courts of the Republic of Ireland and Irish law governs the dispute. This contractual clause is critical for influencers and advertisers because it effectively establishes Ireland as the contractual jurisdiction and Irish courts as the forum for legal disputes.

In Ireland, this authority is the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI).While the formal application process is the second stage of authorisation, firms are strongly encouraged to engage with the regulator early through a pre-application phase. This initial engagement enables the CBI to understand the proposed business model and provides firms with valuable regulatory feedback before submitting a full application.

Text LinkUnder MiCA, most public token offerings or exchange listings require a mandatory disclosure document called a crypto-asset white paper. It’s not marketing and not optional — it’s a legally prescribed document with strict content, liability, and formatting rules. Think of it as a regulated prospectus-lite for crypto.
