The Limitation Act 1980 defines how long you
have to make a claim for personal injury.
Here are some of the key elements within the act:
1) In actions for damages for personal injury, a
claim must be brought within three years.
2) This starts to run either from the date on which
the injury occurred or:
3) From the date on which the person injured first
had knowledge of the injury. The date of knowledge is
the first date on which the claimant has knowledge:
4) The limitation period does not effectively start
until the claimant reaches the age of 18. eg someone who
is 15 at the time of an accident would have until their
21st birthday to make their personal injury claim.
The reality is that the
sooner you make your claim - the better.
