A person may pursue a claim for damages for personal injuries through the courts upon receipt of an authorisation from InjuriesBoard.ie. This is a legal document issued in the absence of consent from the person responsible for the injury (the respondent) to the assessment of the claim by the Board.

Settlements in cases involving persons under 18 years (infant rulings) must be brought before the relevant court for approval prior to being accepted.
