Minister for Justice Helen McEntee said the Personal Injuries Guidelines will come into effect on 24 April
The chief executive of the Personal Injuries Assessment Board has said that a new set of guidelines should see the level of damages awarded in personal injury cases reduce by 40% to 50%.
Rosalind Carroll said the new guidelines will impact personal injury awards made through both the PIAB and the courts and it is hoped people will avoid litigation and access compensation through PIAB.
Yesterday, Minister for Justice Helen McEntee said the Personal Injuries Guidelines will come into effect on 24 April, and will set out the level of damages that may be awarded or assessed in terms of personal injuries.
