Personal Injury ClaimsPersonal injury claims in Ireland are handled by the Injuries Board, also known as the Personal Injuries Assessment Board. // The Personal Injuries Assessment board was set up to assess claims and in an attempt to reduce the costs of accident claims which had spiraled out of control. They are the first port of call if you have an accident claim and if you reject the assessment of your personal injuries then you will be issued with a letter of authorization from them which will allow you to pursue your claim through the courts. You can read more about the entire personal injuries procedure in the article below. Personal Injury Claims-The Accident claims procedure You do not need a personal injury lawyer to pursue your claim with the injuries board; however it is advised because in many situations you will do better if you reject the assessment by the Injuries Board and pursue your claim through the courts. Personal injury lawyers would be very familiar with the litigation of personal injury proceedings through the courts and the need to obtain updated medical reports, loss of earnings reports, actuarial reports etc. which will be critical to the success of your personal…

Employment LawEmployment law in Ireland affords significant rights to employees in the workplace. But many of those employment rights are under significant pressure and threat because of the difficult economic climate that employers find themselves in. // // Many employees are being put on short time/lay off, others find that their employers are seeking to amend their contract of employment by reducing wages and increasing the number of hours worked and some companies in receivership or liquidation are simply leaving their employees in the dark as to the employee’s rights in such situations. Irish employment law can be found in a huge range and body of legislation and can be difficult to understand or pin down. For example the Organization of Working Time act of 1997 sets out many of your leave entitlements and rest period rights, the Payment of Wages Act 1991 covers how you are to be paid and your entitlements about deductions etc., the Terms of Employment (Information) Act 1994 sets out the basic information that an employee is entitled to be given in writing about their contract of employment, the Unfair Dismissals act of 1993 covers what is considered to be an unfair dismissal, fair procedure and…

Debt and BankruptcyThe number of people facing significant debt problems and the looming spectre of bankruptcy is a cause of serious concern. // // What is of great concern for many is an ignorance of the procedure involved and the legal jargon which is used to attempt to extract money from creditors. At it’s lowest level the debt collection procedure will generally start with a 7 day letter of demand for the money owing followed up by a District Court Civil Summons or a High Court summary summons for larger sums. Ultimately the procedure will see the person or company owed the money attempting to register a judgment against the creditor. If successful this judgment order is passed on to the county sheriff for execution.Ultimately it is a possibility that the creditor will face bankruptcy proceedings. In this article and the articles below you can read about the bankruptcy procedure, the consequences of bankruptcy and other bankruptcy information surrounding the bankruptcy procedure in Ireland. Debt problems can have negative long term consequences and will lead to further difficulties in obtaining finance in the future because of a bad credit report. But whether you are trying to carry out a debt collection or…
