Standard rule
Most personal injury claims must be started within three years of the date of the accident.
Under-18 exception
If you were under 18 at the time, the three-year period runs from your 18th birthday — not the accident date.
Date of knowledge
Where injuries were not immediately apparent, the period may run from when you first became aware — though this requires legal advice.
Allow processing time
Even with time remaining, the claims process takes months. Don't wait until close to the deadline to start.
