If you’ve suffered injury, illness, or worsening health due to someone’s negligence in the last three years, you have the grounds for a personal injury claim. Our personal injury solicitors will gather information to build a strong case and determine the compensation you may be entitled to, whether for medical bills or time off work.

You can make a personal injury claim within three years of the incident or the date of diagnosis for your illness.

However, it’s always better to contact us as soon as possible. This way you’ll have all the relevant information readily available and will be more likely to get accurate witness statements to support your claim.

Some scenarios are exceptions to the three-year rule, including:

  • Accidents aboard ships: You have two years to claim from when you left the ship;
  • Accidents abroad: This is the time you have to claim depending on the country’s laws;
  • Criminal injury claims: These are handled by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) who give a two-year time limit for you to make a claim.

Because of these exceptions to the rule, we’d still encourage you to get in touch with us if your claim happened over three years ago.

Unfortunately, there is no set answer to this question as each claim is different. How long it takes will vary depending on the circumstances of the claim.

However, some aspects of the claim could make it last longer, for example, if the other party isn’t willing to accept responsibility for the injury.

This will depend on the evidence you can provide. The most important pieces of evidence you provide should:

  • Show evidence of your injuries;
  • Show evidence that someone else is responsible for the injuries;
  • Show evidence of the expenses you have incurred.

Although we may ask for more forms of evidence, these are often the most crucial.

You should always keep a record of everything you think could be relevant to the claim and get any details from witnesses if possible.

Depending on the circumstances of the claim, it is possible that it could go to court. However, only 5% of all personal injury claims go to court, so it is unlikely.
