Can I claim after 3 years?

If you wish to pursue a claim for personal injury compensation the law allows you three years in which to issue court proceedings. Any later than this and you may lose your right to claim compensation.

In the case of a child (under 21), or someone who has a defined mental disability, the three year rule does not apply. For example, someone under 21 can claim for an accident that happened at birth.

The other main exception to the three year rule is when your condition does not develop for many years after the injury was suffered. In this case, the Court will still allow you to bring a claim, with the claim period running from the date you found out about your condition.
