Compensation for personal injuries gets a bad reputation in the media which is often driven by the insurance industry trying to put victims off from claiming what they are entitled to because somebody else has harmed them. There are two main ideas behind compensation. Firstly, to make amends to the person who has been injured due to another person’s negligence. Secondly, to act as a deterrent so less injuries are caused in the future.
The vast majority of people who make claims are genuinely injured and often struggling with normal daily tasks as a result of somebody else’s actions. In relation to car accidents, insurance is mandatory in Ireland in order to ensure that such victims are able to access compensation that will help cover medical costs, loss of earnings and a figure based on their pain and suffering. Genuinely injured people need not bear the costs of this themselves if somebody else is at fault.
