Personal Injuries Assessment Board:

• Under the PIAB Act 2003, anyone intending to seek compensation for a personal injury
  must make an application to the Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB).
• There are a number of documents required by the PIAB:

 

• A completed application form (Form A).
• A medical assessment form(Form B) completed by your treating practitioner.
• Receipts and vouchers for any other financial loss you may have incurred,
  together with any other documentation you may consider relevant to your claim.
• If you have entered into correspondence with the Respondent following your injury,
  copies of this correspondence should also be included.
• Payment of €50.

 

• Brian Morton & Company will help you with all aspects of your application from
  commencement to conclusion.
• Brian Morton & Company willobtain all necessary medical reports.
• We will conduct all correspondence with the PIAB and deal with all queries.
• PIAB will examine the Application and supporting documentation. When the application is complete,
  PIAB will acknowledge in writing the date of receipt and confirm your application.
• PIAB will notify the person you hold responsible for your injury (the Respondent) of your
  intention to make a claim against them. The Respondent has 90 days to confirm that they are
  not disputing liability and are consenting to PIAB assessing your claim.
• When the PIAB complete their assessment they will let you and the Respondent know in writing
  the amount of the assessment. As the Claimant, you have 28 days to decide if you accept or
  reject the assessment.

 

• You must acknowledge this in writing to PIAB, if you accept.
• The Respondent has 21 days to accept or reject the assessment.
• If both parties accept the assessment, PIAB will issue an “Order to Pay” to the
  Respondent.  An Order to Pay has the same status as an award of court.
• PIAB will send you an Authorisation to proceed to court if you so wish, if either party
  rejects the assessment.
• You should be aware that if you withdraw your claim, you cannot resubmit the claim to PIAB
  again nor initiate the claim through the legal system.
• Unfortunately the Respondent can at the end of the process reject the assessment and deny
  liability in subsequent proceedings.
