Case settlement and possible outcomes
It is important to understand what can happen after you make a claim. Examining the accident at work Ireland claim involves a multi-stage process. Each stage influences to some extent the final decision and the compensation you will receive. The three stages of a personal injury case are:
In the first stage PIAB will assess your claim and propose an amount of compensation. The amount will be calculated according to the seriousness of your injuries and other factors. You will have the right to accept or refuse the proposal.
The second stage can also be the final stage if the PIAB decision suits both parties. If at least one of the parties disagrees with the decision, negotiations can be initiated in which applicants from both sides try to find a mutually beneficial solution. If at this stage the case cannot be resolved then court proceedings are initiated.
Rarely when the case is not resolved at the negotiation stage it is referred to court. Murray Flynn Solicitors will guide you through this process. Although this can be a longer and more complex process, our experienced team will support you to achieve the best outcome.
