PERSONAL INJURIES UPDATES IN 2018
SPEAKER: PAMELA KEEGAN B.L 2.5 GROUP STUDY POINTS
In addition to the pressure that has been put on the Irish Government in recent years to finally legislate for catastrophic injury cases by way of periodic payments, there has also been much media spotlight and criticism of the size of awards made by the Irish Courts in personal injury actions over the last decade or so. On foot of this, the Personal Injuries Commission was established in 2017 and its first report issued in December 2017. During 2018, it has worked on establishing a high-level benchmarking of international awards for personal injury claims against what occurs in Ireland and the Commission will explore this and indeed recommendations for the industry in its next paper, which is expected later this year. Accordingly, this lecture will consider and discuss:
The Personal Injury Commission - it's reports and recommendations for the
transformation of the personal injury claims process in Ireland
New rules for insurers
Updates in Personal Injury case-law, including fraudulent claims
The Civil Liability (Amendment) Act 2017 - introducing periodic payments
leglislation
