Yes there is, for personal injury claims you must have commenced the claim process within 3 years of your injury or accident. If you have not commenced your claim within this time period you will lose your legal right to claim compensation.
In some cases a court may extend this limitation period if there are extenuating circumstances, but we suggest getting advice from a specialist compensation lawyer if you believe your time period may have expired.
Our advice is to speak to a personal injury lawyer about your options with regard to claiming compensation.
Before you can commence any Court action, you must follow what are called pre-Court steps.
Different types of accidents (e.g. motor vehicle accidents, workers compensation, public liability accidents) all have slightly different pre-Court steps that must be followed, and there are also legal time limits that apply as to when you must have started a compensation claim for personal injury.
You can read our previous article How Do You Make a Personal Injury Claim for more detailed information on personal injury claims.
