How long do I have to claim after an accident in a public place?

In general, you have three years from the date of the accident to claim compensation. However, there are exceptions to this rule.

For example, if the injured party is a child, the three-year time limit starts from their 18th birthday. Similarly, if the accident resulted in a loss of mental capacity, there may be no time limit for making a claim.

In our Guide to Limitation in Personal Injury Claims, you can learn more about the time limits of bringing a personal injury claim.
