The Claims Process — From First Call to Compensation
We will give you an objective opinion on your personal injury legal query from the beginning. We see no benefit to a client in proceeding to trial without a full understanding of the risks and an indication of the likely outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to go to court to get compensation?
No — most claims are resolved through the Injuries Resolution Board or settled with the other side without a court hearing. We only recommend proceeding to litigation where it’s genuinely in your interest.
How much compensation could I receive?
Every case is different. Compensation is assessed against the Personal Injuries Guidelines, which set out ranges based on the type and severity of injury. We’ll give you a realistic view of your claim’s value once we’ve reviewed the details.
What is the Injuries Resolution Board?
It’s the State body (formerly known as PIAB) that most personal injury claims must go through before a claim can proceed to court. It assesses claims and can make a compensation offer, which you’re free to accept or reject.
How long will my claim take?
It depends on the complexity of the case and whether it settles through the Injuries Resolution Board or needs to go further. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe once we understand your situation.
