To be able to set up a Personal Injury Trust, you must meet several requirements:
The funds must be a payment from a personal injury claim. This includes:
accidents at work
slips and trips
criminal injuries (and claims made against the Criminal Injury Compensation Authority)
road traffic accidents (including claims made against the Motor Insurers’ Bureau)
medical negligence
occupational or industrial diseases
The trust must be wholly or partially for the benefit of the injured person. For this reason, compensation from claims made by the dependants of someone killed in a fatal accident could not be put into a Personal Injury Trust because the injured person would not be one of the beneficiaries.
