Personal Injury Claim Documents Checklist Ireland (2026)

This information is for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Every case is different and outcomes vary. Consult a qualified solicitor for advice specific to your situation.

Summary: A personal injury claim in Ireland requires three categories of documents: proof of your identity and the accident, a Form B medical report [1] from your treating doctor, and vouched evidence of your financial losses. The Injuries Resolution Board (IRB) [2], formerly the Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB) until 14 December 2023, will not issue a Section 50 acknowledgement without a valid Form B. That acknowledgement pauses your two-year statute of limitations clock. Missing it is the single most common documentation error in Irish personal injury claims.

Quick answers

How many documents?
8 core items for every claim type. More for RTA, workplace, or public liability specifics.

Cost to file?
€45 online, €90 post. Medical report: €250–€400.

Time limit?
2 years from accident. Clock only pauses when IRB issues Section 50 acknowledgement.

Ireland vs UK?
Ireland: 2-year limit + mandatory IRB. England: 3-year limit, no mandatory assessment body.

Self-employed?
3 years of Form 11 tax returns + accountant letter + contract evidence.

CCTV window?
14–30 days before overwrite. Send GDPR request within 48 hours.

What documents do you need for a personal injury claim in Ireland?

Every personal injury claim in Ireland requires these core documents: a completed Form A, a valid Form B medical report, your PPSN, proof of special damages, and evidence of how the accident happened. The specific evidence varies depending on whether your accident was a road traffic collision, a workplace injury, or a public liability incident.

Core documents checklist (applies to all claim types in Ireland)

Document	Purpose	Where to get it
Form A (IRB application)	Formally lodges your claim with the IRB	IRB portal [2] or solicitor files on your behalf
Form B (medical report)	Proves injury causation and severity	Your treating doctor (GP or hospital consultant)
PPSN (or passport for non-residents)	Identity verification (mandatory since Sept 2023)	Your PPS card or Revenue correspondence
Accident photos and scene evidence	Documents conditions and hazards at time of accident	Your phone camera, dashcam, or CCTV request
Witness names and contact details	Corroborates your account of the accident	Collected at the scene or shortly after
Receipts for all out-of-pocket expenses	Proves special damages (medical costs, travel, medication)	Pharmacies, hospitals, GPs, physio clinics
Loss of earnings certificate or employer letter	Proves income lost during recovery	Your employer (specific IRB format) or accountant
Symptom diary / pain journal	Documents daily impact on your life for general damages	You write this yourself from Day 1

The Three-Stage Evidence File

We call this the Three-Stage Evidence File because Irish personal injury claims move through three distinct phases, and each phase requires different documents. No other checklist in Ireland maps documents to these stages. Most guides dump everything into a single list, which leaves claimants confused about what they need now versus what they'll need later.

Most claims settle at Stage 2. According to the IRB [2], roughly half of assessments are accepted by both parties. If either side rejects the assessment, the claim moves to Stage 3. Your solicitor will tell you which stage you're approaching and what documents to prepare next.

When to gather each document

Evidence preservation timeline for personal injury claims in Ireland

When	What to do	Why the deadline matters
Day 1 (at the scene)	Photos of scene, hazard, injuries, vehicle damage. Witness names and numbers. PULSE reference (RTA). Accident book entry (workplace).	Scene conditions change within hours. CCTV overwrites within days.
Within 48 hours	GDPR Subject Access Request for CCTV. Garda report (RTA). Written account of what happened.	CCTV footage has 14 to 30 day retention. Budget systems as short as 7 days.
Week 1	GP visit. Book Form B appointment. Start symptom diary. Report to employer/HSA (workplace).	Early medical attendance creates a documented link between accident and injury.
Month 1	Formal witness statements (your solicitor takes these). Begin receipt collection for special damages.	Witness recall degrades significantly after 2 to 4 weeks.
Month 2 to 3	Form B completed. Special damages file organised. Loss of Earnings Certificate from employer.	Form B must be ready before Form A submission to trigger Section 50 acknowledgement.
Before 2 years	Form A + Form B submitted to IRB. Section 50 acknowledgement received.	Statute of Limitations expires at 2 years. No extensions except for children or date-of-knowledge cases.

What should you bring to your first solicitor meeting?

Your solicitor needs enough information to assess whether you have a viable claim and to identify the correct respondent. Bring everything you have. A detail that catches many claimants off guard: if you name the wrong respondent on Form A, the IRB cannot reassign the application. You may have to start again, and the limitation clock does not reset.

Stage 1: Documents for your first solicitor meeting

What to bring	Why it matters
Your own written account of the accident	Helps your solicitor identify liability and draft Form A accurately
Photos of the accident scene, hazard, or vehicle damage	Establishes conditions before cleanup or repair
Photos of your injuries (taken as soon as possible)	Visual evidence of severity at the early stage
Names and phone numbers of any witnesses	Formal witness statements are taken by your solicitor
PULSE incident number or Garda station name (RTA)	Needed to request the formal Garda abstract later
Accident book entry or employer incident report (workplace)	Proves the accident was reported internally
Your GP or hospital discharge letter	Confirms you sought medical attention after the accident
Details of the party you believe is at fault	Accurate respondent identification is critical for Form A
Your PPS number	Required for the IRB application
Any correspondence from insurers or the other party	May contain admissions or relevant details

Your solicitor handles the rest: requesting medical records, drafting Form A, obtaining the Garda abstract, and filing with the IRB. The more you bring to the first meeting, the faster the process starts. See our guide to the personal injury claim process in Ireland for the full timeline.

The Section 8 letter of claim

Under Section 8 of the Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004 [16], a formal letter of claim must be sent to the respondent within one month of the accident. This is an Irish-specific requirement with no direct equivalent in England and Wales. The letter must contain the date and location of the accident, a summary of how it occurred, a description of the injuries, and notice of the claimant's intention to seek compensation. Your solicitor drafts and sends this. If no Section 8 letter is sent, the court may penalise the claimant on costs later. Keep a copy and proof of delivery in your claim file.

What documents does the IRB need?

The Injuries Resolution Board requires Form A, Form B, your PPSN, and evidence of special damages to process your claim. Since September 2023, stricter validation rules mean applications with missing fields are returned incomplete. According to the IRB claims guidance (Updated 2025) [2], a claim cannot proceed without a completed medical report at the time of submission.

Unlike in England and Wales, where personal injury claims can proceed directly to court, in Ireland all claims except medical negligence must go through the IRB before court proceedings can be issued. This mandatory step under the Personal Injuries Assessment Board Act 2003 [4] means your documentation must satisfy the IRB's requirements first, not just a court's.

One detail the official guidance doesn't fully explain: without a valid Form B at submission, the IRB will not issue a Section 50 acknowledgement. That acknowledgement is what stops your two-year limitation clock under s.50 of the Act [4]. A claimant who submits Form A without Form B is exposed to being statute-barred while waiting for their doctor to complete the report.

The IRB application fee is €45 online or €90 by post. Even if your solicitor prepares and files the application, you must personally sign the declaration. Electronic signatures are accepted for online submissions. Source: Citizens Information (Updated 2025) [3].

What makes a valid Form B medical report?

A valid Form B must include five specific elements: causation, diagnosis with ICD coding, dominant injury identification, prognosis, and (for whiplash) a WAD grade. The treating doctor who actually examined and treated you for accident-related injuries must complete it. A medico-legal expert who only reviewed records cannot provide the initial Form B. Source: IRB Guidance on Medical Reports [1].

We call this the Document Strength Ladder: the difference between a minimum-viable Form B and a strong one is often the difference between a quick assessment and a rejected application. A minimum Form B states "patient injured in accident." A strong Form B states "the accident on [date] caused [specific injury] based on clinical examination, consistent with the mechanism described, with an expected recovery of [X months] and [specific limitations]." The second version gives the IRB exactly what it needs to assess damages under the Personal Injuries Guidelines (2021) [5].

Form B: Five mandatory fields

Field	What it means	Common error
Causation link	Doctor states the accident caused or worsened the injuries	Vague wording like "patient reports" instead of a clear medical opinion
ICD diagnostic coding	WHO International Classification of Diseases code for each injury	Missing entirely or using outdated codes
Dominant injury	The single most significant injury for assessment purposes	Listing multiple injuries without ranking
Prognosis	Expected recovery timeline and any permanent effects	No prognosis included (the most common reason applications stall)
WAD grade (whiplash only)	Quebec Task Force grade I to IV for neck injuries	Omitted entirely for whiplash claims

The timing matters more than most guides suggest: book your Form B appointment as soon as initial treatment allows. Medical reports typically cost €250 to €400. The IRB includes a medical report allowance in your assessment, but the allowance may be less than what you paid. Keep your receipt. The shortfall becomes part of your special damages claim.

How to document special damages

Special damages are your actual financial losses, and every euro must be vouched with a receipt, invoice, or official letter. An unvouched expense does not count. The IRB and the courts require proof for each item you claim. Source: Citizens Information [3].

Special damages documentation requirements

Expense type	What to keep	Practical tip
GP visits and consultant fees	Dated receipts from each visit	Ask the receptionist for a receipt even if you pay by card
Medication and prescriptions	Pharmacy receipts with drug names and dates	Keep the pharmacy bag stapled to the receipt
Physiotherapy and rehabilitation	Invoices from each session	Request a summary invoice at the end of each treatment block
Travel to medical appointments	Mileage log (date, destination, km) or public transport receipts	Use a spreadsheet or notebook from Day 1
Loss of earnings (employed)	IRB Loss of Earnings Certificate completed by employer	This is a specific IRB form, not a generic employer letter
Loss of earnings (self-employed)	Form 11 returns, business accounts, accountant letter	Three years of accounts creates a defensible average

For more detail on how special damages affect your compensation, see our guide to personal injury compensation in Ireland.

Documents from the other side that you should keep

Your special damages file should also include documents generated by the respondent's insurer. Keep every piece of correspondence from the at-fault party or their insurer: admission or denial letters, settlement proposals, and any Section 17 lodgment offers [16] (formal offers to settle under the Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004). If you gave a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer, submit a GDPR request within 30 days to obtain a copy and transcript. These documents may be relevant at court if the claim proceeds past the IRB.

Private health insurance and out-of-pocket tracking

If you have private health insurance with VHI, Laya Healthcare, or Irish Life Health, document the split between what your insurer covered and what you paid yourself. This matters because your health insurer can recover their outlay from the defendant's insurer, and you can only claim for what you actually paid out of pocket. If your policy has a waiting period that prevented cover for your injury (26 weeks for new conditions, 5 years for pre-existing conditions), every uninsured expense becomes a special damages item. Keep itemised hospital invoices showing the health insurance contribution alongside your personal payment.

Social welfare documents you'll need while your claim is processed

If you're out of work due to your injury, you'll need to apply for Illness Benefit from the Department of Social Protection while your claim is being assessed. No other Irish documents checklist covers this, yet it affects every claimant who misses work. You need to submit an IB1 Form [14] (Application for Illness Benefit) within six weeks of becoming unable to work. Late applications require written justification for the delay.

Your GP submits a Certificate of Incapacity for Work (Med1) electronically to the Department. You'll need to confirm your PRSI contribution class, as not all classes qualify. Class A, E, and H contributions are eligible. Civil servants paying Class B or D (recruited before April 1995) follow a separate internal process. There is also a five-day waiting period at the start of each calendar year where benefit is not paid. Source: MyWelfare.ie [14].

Keep copies of your IB1, Med1 confirmations, and all Illness Benefit or Injury Benefit payment records. Under the Recovery of Certain Benefits and Assistance (RBA) Scheme, the compensator (insurer) pays the Department directly for any benefits you received during your claim period. Your solicitor will need these records to calculate the net settlement correctly.

Documents by accident type

The core checklist above applies to every claim, but each accident type requires specific evidence that proves how the accident happened and who was at fault. The three main categories in Ireland are road traffic accidents, workplace injuries, and public liability incidents.

Road traffic accident (RTA) claims

Document	Why it matters	How to get it
Garda abstract (not just your PULSE number)	Official record of the collision. The PULSE number is your immediate reference. The Garda abstract is the formal document solicitors and insurers need.	Request from the Garda station. Takes 2 to 4 weeks. Fee applies. Garda guidance [6]
Dashcam footage	Proves speed, position, and impact	Preserve immediately. Memory cards overwrite quickly.
Photos with EXIF metadata	Time-stamped proof of scene conditions before vehicles moved	Use your phone camera. Do not edit or crop originals.
Other driver's insurance details	Identifies the insurer and confirms cover was active	Exchange at the scene. Verify via the MIBI if needed.

For car-accident-specific IRB documents, see our dedicated IRB documents checklist for car accident claims.

Workplace injury claims

Document	Why it matters	How to get it
Accident book entry	Proves the accident was reported on the day it happened	Ask your supervisor or HR. Photograph the entry before leaving. Entries can be altered later.
HSA incident report (if 3+ days missed)	Statutory obligation on employers under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 [7]	Request from your employer or the HSA directly
Employer's safety statement and risk assessment	Shows whether the employer identified the hazard and failed to act	Request under GDPR or through your solicitor during discovery
Training records and sign-off logs	Proves whether you received adequate safety training	Request from HR. Missing records undermine the employer's defence.

For a full guide to workplace claims, see accident at work solicitor Dublin.

Public liability claims (slip, trip, fall)

Document	Why it matters	How to get it
CCTV footage (request within 48 hours)	Shows the hazard, how long it was present, and whether staff had notice	Written GDPR Subject Access Request. See our CCTV request guide.
Accident report book entry	Contemporaneous record proving the incident occurred on site	Ask staff to record it. Photograph the entry immediately.
Photos of the hazard	Visual proof of the dangerous condition	Take photos before the hazard is cleaned or repaired
Cleaning rotas and maintenance logs	Reveals gaps in inspection systems and cleaning schedules	Obtained through solicitor discovery or GDPR request

For detailed guidance on proving liability in public places, see how to prove a public liability claim in Ireland.

Child and minor injury claims: extra documents required

When a child under 18 is injured, the claim is brought by a parent or guardian acting as "next friend." The document requirements expand beyond the standard checklist. The Statute of Limitations 1957, s.49 [12] provides that the two-year limitation period does not begin until the child turns 18, so there is no urgency on filing deadlines. The urgency is on evidence preservation, which follows the same rules as adult claims.

Additional documents for child injury claims in Ireland

Document	Why it's needed
Child's birth certificate	Proves minority status and triggers special court rules
Parent/guardian photo ID	Confirms the identity of the person bringing the claim as next friend
Affidavit of the next friend	Sworn statement by the parent/guardian confirming they act in the child's best interests
Updated medical report at settlement	All settlements involving minors in Ireland must be approved by a judge. The court requires a current medical report confirming the child's condition at the time of settlement.
Court approval order	No settlement for a minor is binding without a court order. The compensation is held in trust until the child turns 18.

One detail that surprises clients: a parent cannot simply accept an IRB assessment on behalf of a child and receive the money. Even if both parties agree on the amount, a judge must approve it. Your solicitor prepares the application to court and arranges the trust arrangements. See our guide to claims for children in personal injury cases.

What documents change depending on the outcome?

Your document requirements shift at three branching points in the claim process. Most checklists treat the process as linear. In practice, different outcomes require different paperwork.

Scenario branching: documents by claim outcome in Ireland

If this happens...	You'll need these additional documents
Respondent consents to IRB assessment	No additional documents beyond the standard checklist. The IRB assesses your claim using Form B and your special damages evidence.
Respondent declines IRB assessment	IRB issues an Authorisation. Your solicitor prepares a Personal Injuries Summons and files court proceedings. Full court-stage documents apply (see Stage 3).
You accept the IRB assessment	IRB issues an Order to Pay. No further documents needed. Keep the Order to Pay for your records.
You reject the IRB assessment	IRB issues an Authorisation. Court proceedings begin. Updated medical reports and a revised Schedule of Special Damages are required.
Case settles at pre-trial consultation	Settlement agreement signed by both parties. If a minor is involved, court approval application and updated medical report.
Case goes to full hearing	All discovery documents exchanged. Updated medical reports. Expert reports (engineer, actuary, vocational assessor if applicable). Witness statements finalised.

How do you prove loss of earnings if you're self-employed?

Self-employed claimants in Ireland need Revenue filings, business accounts, and contract evidence to prove income lost due to injury. Irish courts are reluctant to depart from what historic accounts and Revenue records show. A single year of accounts is often challenged by insurers. Three years of filings creates a pattern that is harder to dispute. Source: Revenue self-assessment guidance [8].

Self-employed loss of earnings: documents needed in Ireland

Document	Purpose
Form 11 tax returns (3 years)	Proves net income over time
Employment Detail Summary (EDS) from Revenue	Confirms income and tax paid
Business accounts (prepared by accountant)	Shows revenue, costs, and net profit
Accountant's letter confirming loss	Professional verification of income disruption
Evidence of cancelled contracts or orders	Proves work lost directly due to injury (emails, purchase orders)
Bank statements showing income patterns	Corroborates account-based evidence

Between assessment and settlement, the sticking point for self-employed claimants is usually the gap between what they say they would have earned and what Revenue records actually show. Prepare your documentation with your accountant before your solicitor needs it.

Employed claimants: payroll and Revenue documents beyond the Loss of Earnings Certificate

The IRB Loss of Earnings Certificate covers the basics, but a strong claim file includes additional payroll and Revenue documents. If your injury cost you overtime, bonuses, pension contributions, or your job entirely, these losses need separate documentation:

Employed claimants: additional earnings documents

Document	What it proves
Employment Detail Summary (EDS) from Revenue	Official record of your gross and net income, tax credits, and PRSI payments for the year
Contract of employment	Confirms base salary, overtime eligibility, bonus structure, and benefits (pension, health insurance) lost due to injury
12 months of payslips (pre-accident)	Shows regular overtime, shift premiums, or variable earnings that the Loss of Earnings Certificate alone may not capture
P45 (if employment ended due to injury)	Confirms termination date and final pay details
HR absence records and sick leave balance	Proves the duration of absence and whether company sick pay was exhausted

Can you use GDPR to gather evidence for your claim?

Under GDPR Article 15 [9], you have a right to access personal data held about you by any data controller in Ireland. This includes CCTV footage, medical records, employer files, and accident report forms. The controller has 30 days to respond. The Data Protection Commission has confirmed [10] that the motive behind your request is not a relevant factor. A controller cannot refuse simply because they suspect the request relates to a personal injury claim.

For medical records, public hospital patients can also request records under the Freedom of Information Act. Private patients use GDPR. Your solicitor can make a targeted Evidence Preservation Request using a signed Letter of Authority, specifying exact record types, hospital departments, and date ranges. See how to request medical records in Ireland.

What documents do you need if your case goes to court?

If either party rejects the IRB assessment, the IRB issues an Authorisation allowing your solicitor to start court proceedings. The document requirements at this stage expand significantly. Source: Courts Service, Rules of the Superior Courts [11].

Unlike in England and Wales, where the court level is determined by claim value thresholds set in the Civil Procedure Rules, in Ireland the court structure for personal injury is District Court (under €15,000), Circuit Court (under €75,000), or High Court (unlimited). Your solicitor will file in the appropriate court based on your estimated claim value.

Stage 3: Court-stage documents for personal injury claims in Ireland

Court-stage document	What it is
Personal Injuries Summons	The legal document your solicitor drafts to formally start court proceedings. It outlines the accident, the defendant's negligence, and your injuries and losses.
Affidavit of Discovery	A sworn document listing every relevant document in your possession, custody, or power. The defendant can inspect these documents.
Updated medical reports	Fresh reports showing your current condition and prognosis. Both sides may commission reports.
Independent medical examination (IME) report	The defendant's insurer arranges for their doctor to examine you. The IME report becomes part of the case file.
Schedule of Special Damages (updated)	A complete, fully vouched list of every financial loss claimed, with supporting receipts and certificates.
Expert reports (if applicable)	Engineer's report (workplace or RTA), actuarial report (future loss of earnings), vocational assessment

For guidance on the IRB-to-court transition, see what happens after an IRB authorisation.

What most guides miss about claim documents in Ireland

The IRB Loss of Earnings Certificate is not a generic employer letter

The IRB has a specific Loss of Earnings Certificate with designated fields for gross pay, deductions, and the exact period missed. A general letter from HR confirming absence is not a substitute. One aspect the official guidance doesn't cover: if your employer refuses to complete the certificate, your solicitor can write to them directly. Most employers comply once they understand the IRB form is a standard part of the process, not an admission of liability.

Medical report costs create a hidden special damages item

Medical reports typically cost €250 to €400. The IRB includes a medical report allowance in your assessment, but the allowance is often less than the actual fee your doctor charged. Keep the receipt. The difference between what you paid and what the IRB allows becomes an additional special damages item. One detail that surprises clients: many claimants forget to include this receipt and leave money on the table.

Name discrepancies across documents trigger processing delays

From handling cases in Irish courts, a common problem: claimants whose maiden name appears on the Garda report, married name on Form A, and a hospital admission under a slightly different spelling. The IRB will query these inconsistencies. The solution is to note every discrepancy in the "additional information" section of Form A before submission.

Mediation now requires its own document set (since December 2024)

Since the IRB expanded mediation to motor liability claims on 12 December 2024, a new set of documents may apply to your case. If you opt into mediation (it's optional), you'll need a Mediation Consent Form, a Confidentiality Agreement protecting "without prejudice" discussions, and a Pre-Mediation Position Statement. Your solicitor prepares these. The IRB's mediation page [15] explains the process. This is new territory, and no other documents checklist in Ireland covers it yet.

Common document mistakes that weaken claims

The difference between a strong claim and a weak one often comes down to documentation quality, not injury severity. These are the errors that cause the most problems:

Document mistakes that weaken personal injury claims in Ireland

Mistake	Consequence	How to avoid it
GP letter without a prognosis	Form B is incomplete. IRB application stalls. Section 50 not issued.	Ask your doctor to include a clear recovery timeline before signing Form B.
Wrong respondent on Form A	IRB cannot reassign. You may need to start again.	Verify the correct legal entity (individual, limited company, trading name) before filing.
Undated or edited photos	Loses evidentiary weight. Defence challenges authenticity.	Use your phone camera (EXIF metadata records date and GPS). Never edit originals.
Missing receipts for special damages	Unvouched expenses cannot be claimed.	Keep every receipt from Day 1. Use a dedicated envelope or spreadsheet.
Delay in requesting CCTV	Footage overwritten. Key evidence lost permanently.	Send a GDPR Subject Access Request within 48 hours of the accident.

How long should you keep your claim documents?

Keep all claim documents for at least six years after your case is settled or a court judgment is issued. The Statute of Limitations for contract-based claims (including any settlement agreement) is six years under the Statute of Limitations 1957, s.11 [12]. For child injury claims, the limitation period does not begin until the child turns 18, so documents should be retained until the child is at least 20. See our guide to time limits for personal injury claims in Ireland.

Store digital copies alongside paper originals. A water-damaged receipt is as useless as a missing one.

Frequently asked questions

What to consider next

Key takeaways

• Core documents for every Irish personal injury claim: Form A, Form B medical report, PPSN, photos of the scene and injuries, witness contacts, all expense receipts, Loss of Earnings Certificate, and a symptom diary.
• The Section 50 acknowledgement pauses the two-year statute of limitations. The IRB only issues it when Form A, Form B, and PPSN are all valid at submission. Without Form B, the clock keeps running.
• Section 8 letter of claim must be sent within one month of the accident under the Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004. A court may penalise the claimant on costs for failing to send it.
• Act within 48 hours for CCTV footage via GDPR Subject Access Request. Most commercial systems overwrite footage within 14 to 30 days.
• Accident type variations: RTA (Garda abstract + dashcam), workplace (accident book + HSA report if 3+ days off + safety statement), public liability (CCTV + cleaning logs), child/minor (birth certificate + next friend affidavit + court approval).
• Cost to file: €45 online or €90 post for the IRB application; €250–€400 for the Form B medical report. No upfront solicitor fees on a no-win-no-fee basis.
• Ireland vs UK: Two-year deadline (not three), mandatory IRB step (no equivalent in England and Wales), Form B with ICD coding and WAD grade.
