How long do you have to make your personal injury
claim?
Important information about the
claim - Limitation.
The general rule is that you have
three years from the actual date of the accident in which to make a claim.
Or in the alternative three years from the date of knowledge that you have
sustained an illness or injury due to the fault of your employer. This is
laid down in the Limitation Act 1980.

If
you are under the age of 18 when the accident occurs then you have until the
date of your 21st birthday in which to make the claim.
However, delay prejudices any claim
and the sooner that any claim is made the better. No doubt you can see that it
is your best interests to cooperate with your legal advisor. The more
information that you provide with when requested the quicker any claim would be
dealt with.
The nature of personal injury claims
is such that it may take many months or even years before a claim is settled.
Therefore, the sooner a claim is begun the quicker it will be concluded and
hopefully well within the three year limitation period.
Very few claims will ever need to
involve legal action and fewer still will ever reach court for a trial.
