It can often be difficult for people to be certain whether or not they have a justifiable case for claiming accident compensation. Although each and every case is unique, and will be judged on its own merits, there are three “rules of thumb” that will generally indicate whether or not you could make an accident compensation claim.
The accident was within the last three years
The statute of limitations for making an accident compensation claim runs out exactly three years after the event that caused the injuries – which means that you must make your claim within this time. However, there are a few notable exceptions to this rule.
The accident was someone else’s fault
You can only make a claim for accident compensation if you were not to blame for the injuries you sustained. If you were hurt in an accident at work because your employer failed in his duty of care to you, or another driver caused your car accident then you have the right to claim accident compensation. Again, there can be exceptions to this rule, and sometimes it can be hard to establish exactly who was to blame. If you are not sure, then call our free legal advice line for more information.
You were hurt
In order to claim accident compensation, you must show that you have been hurt either physically or emotionally. You may also be able to claim if you can demonstrate that you have suffered financial hardship as a direct consequence of the accident.
