| If you have an
accident you must bring a claim within 3 years
of the accident or the court has the power to
refuse to allow you to claim for your injury.
Some exceptions to the 3 year rule are:
If you were under 18 when
the accident happened.
In this case the 3 years only starts to run
from when you are 18.
At the time of the accident you did not know
you had been injured or that your injury was
caused by an accident, illness or disease but
you find out later.
Even if this is years later, the three years
may start to run from when you found out.
After receiving your enquiry will be able to
tell you more.
You should try and seek legal advice as soon
as possible after the accident.
Most cases are settled within a few months.
If your injury is going to
give you problems in the future or it cannot
be put right then you are likely to receive
more in compensation than if your injury
improves very quickly.
