Dealing with a back injury can be a profoundly life-altering experience, affecting every aspect of your daily life and potentially leading to long-term disability or chronic pain.

The Injuries Board Ireland provides guidelines for compensation amounts; however, each case is unique, and many factors influence the final settlement, including the extent of your injury, recovery time, impact on quality of life, and any financial losses incurred.
