I have previously written articles entitled ‘Injuries board assessments; unravelling the mystery’ and ‘Accident cases in court; the procedure in simple terms’. The purpose of this blog is to give an idea of what can be expected in going to trial when you have an accident case in the circuit court or high court in Ireland.

Prior to a case going into a list for trial (or later with court permission) it is open to a defendant to make a payment into court of an amount which he believes is in full satisfaction of the amount due to the plaintiff.
