Not all claims are assessed. For example, if the injury is largely psychological, the Injuries Board will usually decline to assess it. That does not mean that your claim fails, but rather it means that you have to go to the next step of taking Court Proceedings. Also, sometimes the wrongdoer may object to the Injuries Board assessing a claim, and, in those circumstances, the claim will not be assessed.   Also, if the prognosis for your injuries is uncertain, the Injuries Board may also decline to assess it.
