Under UK law, anyone who has been hurt in an incident that wasn’t their fault is entitled to make an accident claim. In most cases the statute of limitations expires after three years so any compensation claim needs to be made within that timescale.
What if I received my injury more than three years ago?
You should consult one of our personal injury solicitors as soon as possible if the precipitating events which caused you to be injured occurred more than three years ago. There are certain exceptional circumstances where the statute of limitations may not apply, so legal advice is essential. If, in any case, you were a minor when the accident happened, then you have three years from the date of your 18th birthday to make an accident claim.
What if I did not know I had been made ill until recently?
In some cases injuries or illness does not come to light until years after the event. People who have previously worked with toxic chemicals or asbestos may not know that they’ve been made unwell until many years have passed. In cases such as these, the claimant has three years from the time that they become aware to make an accident claim.
