Injuries board pays €113m in first half of year
The board will shortly reach the €500m mark in awards made since 2004.
The payments from January to June ranged from a low of €1,000 to a high of €519,784 in respect of 4,652 personal injury claimants. Personal injury claims are now processed through the injuries board rather than through the courts and 87% of all cases assessed by InjuriesBoard.ie secure awards of less than €38,000, a figure that is in line with court awards.
