A body part injury claim* seeks compensation when you are injured in an accident that was not your fault or not wholly your fault. A personal injury compensation claim* is for damages when you suffer any body part injury and its effects on your life. 

There are many types of body part injury. You could injure a finger in an accident at work, injure your foot when walking on a public footpath or injure an eye in a road traffic accident, and you may have a body part injury claim*. 

A personal injury compensation claim* can be for damages if you suffer one of the many types of body part injury in an accident. If someone owes you a duty of care, be it another road user, your employer, or a landowner, and they breach that duty of care, causing you an injury, you may have a personal injury claim*. 

PBN Litigation Solicitors in Dublin have the expertise and that vital experience in all types of personal injury claims*. 

We will look at your body part injury details and see if you have a valid personal injury compensation claim*.

Common body part injuries from a personal injury accident

Common body part injuries from a personal injury accident range from a broken ankle in a fall at work to a chipped tooth in a trip at the supermarket to a facial laceration in a road traffic accident. You claim for the effect of the injury today and in the future, such as chronic pain, being off work and the medical bills. 

You may suffer life-changing injuries in an accident that was not your fault, and you could be able to claim compensation for the personal injury. 

Some common types of body part injuries from a personal injury accident:

  • Injury to the hand claim
  • Injury to the fingers claim
  • Injury to the arms and shoulders claim
  • Injury to the head claim
  • Injury to the neck claim
  • Injury to the hips claim
  • Injury to the legs claim
  • Injury to the knees claim
  • Injury to the ankle claim
  • Injury to the feet claim
  • Injury to the eyes claim
  • Injury to the skin claim

Injury to the hand

An injury to the hand could have you off work for some time and may affect your ability to drive, look after yourself and to care for others who rely on you. 

The injury to the hand could be:

  • A broken bone in a slip on a public footpath
  • Severe scarring from a workplace accident
  • Torn muscles or ligaments from a sports injury that was not your fault

If you suffer an injury to the hand, you could have a body part injury claim* for compensation.

Injury to the fingers

An injury to the fingers can be very restrictive on your life and may affect your ability to exercise and care for yourself. It could also impact your job or ability to get to work. 

Injury to the fingers can happen:

  • When caught in a faulty door at the shopping centre
  • Broken fingers in a fall down the stairs at the office
  • Amputation due to a crush injury at work

You may have a personal injury claim* for compensation when you suffer an injury to the fingers.

Injury to the arms and shoulders

An injury to the arm and shoulders may stop you from driving, restrict how you get to work, and leave you relying on the care of others. 

You may suffer an injury to the arms and shoulders:

  • In a manual handling accident in the warehouse
  • In a slip on a wet restaurant floor
  • When in a road traffic accident

If you are injured in an accident that was not your fault, you could have a personal injury claim* for compensation.

Injury to the neck

An injury to the neck could result in paralysis and the need for lifetime care. Even a slight neck injury may need intensive physiotherapy, with many medical bills to pay. 

You may suffer a neck injury:

  • In a sports accident, such as a bad tackle in a rugby game
  • When in a road traffic accident, when the car is shunted from behind
  • In an assault at a club or bar

You may be able to seek compensation for the neck injury in a personal injury claim*.

Injury to the hips

An injury to the hips could get worse over time, and what may be only a niggle now could lead to a need for hip replacement surgery later in life. A hip injury can take time to heal and you should consider the lasting effects if you suffer one. 

A hip injury often happens:

  • From sitting in a defective chair for too long at work
  • From a road traffic accident
  • In an unexpected slip, trip and fall accident when socialising

A personal injury claim* could seek compensation for the effects of the hip injury today and in the future.

Injury to the legs

An injury to the legs, such as a broken bone, scarring or torn ligaments, could stop you from driving, taking the kids to sports or even simple activities like shopping and exercising. 

An injury to the legs can be:

  • A broken leg in a fall at work
  • Torn muscles in a slip at the supermarket
  • Crush injuries when in a road traffic accident

A personal injury compensation claim* may seek damages for the effects of the leg injury after an accident.

Injury to the knees

An injury to the knees, such as ligament damage or a dislocated knee joint, may need complicated surgery with a long recovery time. Knee injuries often come back later in life and cause further problems. 

A knee injury can happen:

  • Due to faulty gym equipment
  • In a trip on broken paving on a public footpath
  • In a fall over, rubbish or rubble left unattended on the street

You can seek personal injury compensation for an injury to the knees that was not your fault.

Injury to the ankle

An injury to the ankle, like torn ligaments, broken bones, or soft tissue bruising, can be very painful and could need rest for a full recovery. You may need time off work and face medical bills when you suffer an injury to the ankle. 

An injury to the ankle may happen:

  • In a slip on the wet floor in the shopping centre
  • When hit by another road user when out for a run or walk
  • In a workplace accident, such as a fall from a ladder

Your personal injury solicitor can advise you when you have a body part injury claim*. 

Injury to the feet

An injury to the feet may restrict your ability to get about and could keep you off work while you recover. A foot injury may cause chronic pain and you could require care during the day. 

An injury to the feet can be:

  • Amputation of one or both feet after a road traffic accident
  • Broken bones when crushed in a workplace accident
  • Bruising due to faulty gym equipment collapsing on the feet

A body part injury claim* for compensation may help you recover damages after an accident that was not your fault.

Injury to the eyes

An injury to the eyes can be painful but could also cause blindness or long-term damage to the sight. The eyes are vulnerable to injury at work when socialising or driving. 

Common injuries to the eyes:

  • Injury from broken glass when in a pub or restaurant
  • Injury from a liquid spill in a workplace accident
  • Injury when in a road traffic accident

A personal injury claim* can seek damages for the effects of the injury to the eyes on your life today and in the future.

Injury to the skin

An injury to the skin in a personal injury claim* often happens in a workplace accident or a hot liquid spill when eating in a restaurant. Scarring, chronic pain and skin grafts are common consequences of skin injuries. 

You may suffer an injury to the skin when:

  • In a workplace accident, such as an acid spill
  • Burns from a road traffic accident
  • Hot liquid spills on you in the café or hotel restaurant

An injury to the skin can have a lasting effect, and you can seek compensation in a personal injury claim*.

Personal injury claims* for a body part injury can be for the effects of an accident that was not your fault. You claim for the effects today and in the future.

Compensation for personal injury in Ireland

Compensation for personal injury in Ireland can be for a broken bone in your hand in a supermarket fall or after a car accident, resulting in leg injuries and facial lacerations. You claim for the effects of the injury today and in the future, such as the need for full-time personal care for life. 

The compensation awarded in Ireland for personal injury differs depending on the injury or injuries you suffer, such as the consequences of scarring to the face or of losing a leg in a workplace accident. 

Injury in a personal injury case could cause unnecessary pain and emotional stress. You could spend time in hospital and be unable to work or look after family members in your care. 

没有任何一起人身伤害索赔案件能获得固定数额的赔偿*。人身伤害诉讼律师只能针对您在道路交通事故或滑倒、绊倒和摔倒事故中受到的伤害,为您大致估算可能获得的赔偿额。. 

每起赔偿诉求都各不相同。您可能会因事故而遭受身心痛苦,这可能会影响您的工作、出行以及养家糊口的能力。. 

With your personal injury claim*, you seek damages for the effect of the injury or injuries such as a broken bone in the arm or damaged hip joint today and in your future life. 

PBN Litigation Solicitors 可以为您解释诉讼流程以及如何提起人身伤害赔偿索赔。.

如何索取人身伤害赔偿

There are a few steps to follow when you make a claim for personal injury compensation in Ireland.

You must engage with the Personal Injury Assessment Board, PIAB as the first step in your claims process.  

Making a personal injury claim* may seem daunting, but with the help of PBN Litigation Solicitors, you can navigate your way through what can be a difficult process. 

在爱尔兰提出人身伤害索赔*时需遵循的步骤如下:

You should engage a personal injury solicitor as soon as possible to further your personal injury claim*. The team at PBN Litigation Solicitors can advise on your case and how it could proceed. 

通过我们的无义务咨询,我们可以与您进行机密会面,并就您案件的优势为您提供建议。.  

To investigate your case, we will request an initial medical report from your doctor to outline the injuries you sustained in the accident at work, when out shopping or if you were in a road traffic accident. 

在您的案件达成最终和解之前,将提交附有医生最终诊断的更新报告。.  

我们将通过录取证人证言,或就闭路电视录像/人事档案提出数据访问申请,来协助调查您的案件。.  

Submission of the body part injury claim* to the  Injuries Resolution Board will follow. Upon receipt of your medical report from your doctor, we may submit the claim* to the  Injuries Resolution Board 

PIAB 将联系疏忽方及其保险公司。疏忽方有 90 天的时间向 PIAB 他们是否会同意 PIAB 评估索赔或拒绝允许 PIAB 评估该案件。.   

如果他们同意允许董事会评估该索赔, PIAB 有九个月的时间来这样做。 PIAB 如果愿意,他们也可以将此期限再延长几个月。. 

在此九个月期间,您将被派往独立伤害委员会医生处进行独立评估。.   

PIAB 将向您及疏忽方发出评估书。信中将概述您因人身伤害而应获得的赔偿金额。.  

如果您与过错方同意评估书,PIAB将发出付款令,过错方必须在特定日期前向您支付赔偿金。.  

Unfortunately, you may need to go to court if the negligent party denies responsibility for the personal injury or the two sides cannot agree on an acceptable level of compensation.  

上法庭可能是解决您人身伤害索赔案的最后一步。您的律师将接手处理您的案件,从 PIAB 当法院成为唯一的选择。.  

您的律师将提起诉讼程序,并在整个过程中为您提供建议,这对于家庭来说可能是一个艰难的过程。.  

诉讼程序可能会很漫长,当您身处法庭时,需要经验和专业知识来支持您。.  

在某些情况下,当疏忽方与遭受人身伤害的人会面时,索赔*会在法院门前(达成)和解。.

What are the time limits for making a personal injury claim* in Ireland?

There is a two-year time limit for personal injury claims* in Ireland. You should start the process of engaging a solicitor and applying to the PIAB before the two-year limit is reached. 

You should make the personal injury claim* immediately after realising you are suffering from it. The date of realising may be beyond the two-year limit in some cases, such as pain when walking becomes obvious years after you suffer injury in a car accident. 

You could see another doctor with what you think is a different complaint, but they may see a path back to the road traffic accident or to falling down the stairs at work. 

Parents can make a personal injury claim* on behalf of a child at any time until they reach 18 years of age.

Once a child turns 18, they have a two-year time limit to start a personal injury claim* from the date they realise what happened to them.
