Personal Injury Dublin FAQ
-
1. What is a Personal Injury Claim?
Personal Injury is a general term referring to a range of cases where an individual was injured due to the negligence of a third party.
An injury can take many forms including physical injuries or even psychological issues that may prove harder to diagnose.
In most cases, it is impossible to predict how long an injury will affect a person’s life – and how much the treatment of this injury will end up costing the individual. The injured party must explore all their legal options.
Put simply if you have been injured due to the negligence of a third party and this injury has meant you incurred medical expenses or forced you to miss work, you may be entitled to make a personal injury claim. -
2. How are Personal Injury Claims Calculated?
A variety of factors are considered when calculating a personal injury claim.
These factors can include:- The person’s age at the time of the injury
- How the injuries have affected the person’s quality of life
- The medical implications of the injury
According to the Personal Injuries Assessment Board’s annual report, the average award for a personal injury claim was €24,649 in 2018. -
3. What is Contributory Negligence?
Contributory negligence is the term used to describe how much of the injury was the fault of the injured party.
Most people who are injured in an accident -- that wasn’t their fault -- are eligible to pursue a personal injury claim.
However, if the actions of the individual played a role in the accident or contributed to the severity of the inflicted injuries, the amount they are entitled to may be reduced.
Some examples of contributory negligence can include:- Failure to wear a car safety belt
- Early discharge from a hospital
- Failure to seek medical advice early enough
