The Injuries Board under assessed my case by €311,736.26

20 April 2016

The Claims Board has issued a call for a “realistic review of the 2004 Book of Quantum” following a successful case before The High Court.

We represented a 47-year-old man who sustained an accident at work in County Wexford.

The man was awarded €38,263.73 by the Injuries Board to compensate him for general damages, pain and suffering and future pain and suffering. After rejecting the Injuries Board Assessment and contacting the firm of the Irish Claims Board, his case was ultimately settled for €350,000.00, a difference of €311,736.27 from the Injuries Board Assessment and an increase of 914% from the Assessment figure!

This is another example of a major under assessment by The Injuries Board. The Book of Quantum, was to ensure that innocent victims were adequately compensated and once again this case demonstrates that it is failing miserably in this objective”.
