Is there a time limit for making a claim ?
Yes.
You must make a claim to the court within 3 years of the accident or illness.
If the accident/illness occurred before you were 18 years old then the 3 years does not start to run until you are 18.
If you did not know at the time that you were injured or ill then the 3 years might start from the date you first realised that you were injured or ill.
Some accident claims have special time limits, such as accidents involving aeroplanes, where the time limit is 2 years.
Can I make any other claims apart from a court claim ?
