Legal Process Overview
The legal process in personal injury cases can vary depending on the specific circumstances of each case and the jurisdiction in which it is being handled. However, here’s a general overview of the typical stages involved:
Initial Consultation: The process often begins with an initial consultation between the injured party and a personal injury attorney. During this meeting, the attorney will gather information about the accident or injury, assess the potential merits of the case, and advise the client on their legal rights and options.
Investigation: If the attorney decides to take on the case, they will conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident or injury. This may involve gathering evidence such as witness statements, accident reports, medical records, photographs, and other relevant documentation.
Legal Claim or Complaint: The attorney may then file a legal claim or complaint on behalf of the injured party against the at-fault party or parties. This initiates the formal legal process and sets the stage for further proceedings.
Discovery: During the discovery phase, both sides exchange information and evidence relevant to the case. This may include written interrogatories, requests for production of documents, and depositions, where parties and witnesses are questioned under oath.
Negotiation/Settlement: In many cases, the parties may attempt to negotiate a settlement to resolve the matter without going to trial. Negotiations may take place directly between the parties or through their attorneys, and a settlement may be reached at any stage of the legal process.
Mediation/Arbitration: If negotiations fail to produce a settlement, the parties may agree to participate in alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation or arbitration. These processes involve the assistance of a neutral third party who helps facilitate discussions and potentially reach a resolution outside of court.
Trial: If the case cannot be resolved through settlement, it may proceed to trial. During the trial, both sides present evidence, call witnesses, and make arguments to a judge or jury. The judge or jury then decides the outcome of the case based on the evidence presented and applicable law.
Appeals: In some cases, either party may choose to appeal the trial court’s decision to a higher court. Appellate courts review the trial court’s proceedings to determine if any errors were made that warrant a reversal or modification of the decision.
Throughout each stage of the legal process, the injured party’s attorney plays a crucial role in advocating for their rights, providing legal guidance, and working to achieve the best possible outcome for their client.

The process for making a claim is extremely straightforward.
In order to make a Personal Injury Claim in Ireland you have to make an application to the Injuries Board to assess your case. If we take your case on, all we ask is that you attend one medical appointment that we will organise on your behalf. Once we have obtained the necessary medical report we will present your case to the Injuries Board.
Once the application has been lodged, the Injuries Board will notify the other party of the application. If the other party decline to have your case assessed, the Injuries Board will issue an Authorisation which will allow you to issue legal proceedings against the other party in court. If the other side consents to the assessment, the Injuries board has up to a period of nine months in which to assess your claim.
If either party fails to accept the assessment of your claim, the Injuries Board will issue Authorisation to issue legal proceedings to allow the claim to proceed through the courts.
However, there are a few exceptions to this rule e.g. if you were under the age of 18 when the accident occurred you have two years from the date of your eighteenth birthday within which to make a claim. Or, you have two years from the “date of knowledge” that you sustained a personal injury.
It is essential you contact Gary Matthews Solicitors as soon as possible after your accident to ensure you receive the immediate advice you need.
