The inquisitorial approach adopted by the PIAB will ensure the claimant gets what he or she is entitled to – no more and no less. This approach will be of assistance to claimants on many issues where they might currently seek legal advice, even in assessment only cases which do not involve legal disputes. At the end of the Personal Injuries Assessment Board process, the parties are entitled to reject the award if they consider they would secure a more favourable outcome through the courts system. The Personal Injuries Assessment Board will issue an authorisation for the claimant to proceed to litigation within a specified timeframe if he or she wishes to pursue the matter further.
