Why did the PIAB send you an authorisation rather than assess the case? If the other party is denying liability then you would be better with a solicitor representing you. In these times you should probably be able to get a solicitor to take this case on a no foal no fee basis if they feel that you have a reasonable case.

all the more reason to consult a solicitor as any flaw in the procedure could render service invalid. Also, you need to weigh up the chances of collecting any judgement. There is not much fun in gettin ga judgement if you cannot collect.
You should really go to a solicitor, but if you insist on going it alone, here are a couple of pointers for the PI summons.Thanks for your reply however there will be no solicitor involved. I cannot afford to pay a solicitor at 200 Euro an hour, I dont even earn this in a week!!!
Now can anyone tell me in a Personal Injury Summons do you have to state at this stage how much damages you are claiming in compenisation?
Make sure you include in the claim;
1. Interest pursuant to statute
2. The costs of the proceedings, and
3. Such further or other Order as this Honourable Court shall deem fit
Unless you claim them you won't get them.

Methinks the OP may be winding us up, S/he is embarking on major litigation apparently without knowledge of the simplest basics?.
In my long experience of litigation I have never heard of a reasonable personal injuries claimant not being able to get a solicitor to act. .
No one stated that I could not get a solicitor to act for me. You might refer back to post No. 10 its states that I cant afford a Solicitor as I only get 200 euro a week, Solicitors wants this in 1 hour!!. I have heard yesterday of a friend that went to a solicitors office and wants 300 euro an hour, and that dont even include postage, stamps, envelops, paper or hidden extras. The solicitor also demanded 1500 Euro up front. The client turned and walked straight out the door!!
Go back and read my post (#2) and specifically the bit where I said:
"I'd suggest that you contact solicitors who practice in litigation, let them see the metits of your case and if it's a good case most will take it on a no win no fee basis. This means that if you lose you will not be liable for your sides legal bill but you will be liable for the defendants.
If your case is strong you shouldnt have anything to worry about, professional advice is your only answer to this not seeking how to run your case from the internet."
Any thoughts?
