							<section data-id="sappah7" data-element_type="section">
												<a href="">1. How do I start a personal injury claim*?   </a>
					<p>Make contact with your solicitors and they will act in filing a claim on your behalf with the Injuries Board which is a government body set up to assess compensation claims for personal injuries.</p><p><em>* In contentious business a solicitor may not calculate fees or other charges as a percentage or proportion of any award or settlement</em></p>
												<a href="">2. Will I have to go to court?</a>
					<p>Not necessarily. If the Injuries Board make an assessment  of compensation which is accepted by you,  your claim is then settled and finalised. If however the Injuries Board do not make an assessment or if the assessment made  is deemed insufficient, you have the option of proceeding to court.</p>
												<a href="">3. How is compensation calculated? </a>
					<p>It is calculated in two parts- General Damages for the pain and suffering caused and Special Damages for the out of pocket expenses incurred, including hospital and doctors fees, any other medical expenses and any loss of earnings.</p>
												<a href="">4. How long do I have following an accident to make a personal injury claim*?</a>
					<p>Two years from the date of the accident.</p><p><em>* In contentious business a solicitor may not calculate fees or other charges as a percentage or proportion of any award or settlement</em></p>
												<a href="">5. What does 'no win no fee' or 'no foal no fee' mean?</a>
					<p>This fee arrangement means that a solicitor will not charge for their service if a client’s case is unsuccessful i.e. if you do not win your case, you do not have to pay your legal fees. The phrase can be misleading in that  it suggests that there will be no costs incurred by the Claimant in the event that the Claimant is not successful. However the Claimant may still be liable for the Defendant’s fees and the Claimant’s own medical expenses, barrister’s fees, etc. Solicitors are not prohibited from taking on cases on a no win no fee basis but they are prohibited from advertising such a fee arrangement by the Law Society of Ireland.</p>
