FAQ's
Is there a time limit for starting a claim in Bristol with your personal injury lawyers?
Is there a time limit for starting a claim in Bristol with your personal injury lawyers?
As with most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident, or when you first became aware of a resulting injury or illness, to either settle a personal injury claim or start court proceedings. This legal timeframe applies to almost all claims.
It's always best to give us a call as soon as possible to ensure your memory is fresh and evidence can be gathered quickly. Our friendly helpline advisors on [medtel] are ready to hear your story.
There are a few exceptions to this rule, though. If you're claiming on behalf of someone else, the time limits can vary:
- Claims made for children: You can start a claim on behalf of a child at any point until their 18th birthday. Once they turn 18, they can pursue a claim themselves, which must either settle or have court proceedings started, prior to their 21st birthday.
- Claims made for people lacking 'mental capacity': No time limits apply if you're claiming for someone who lacks the 'mental capacity' to manage their own case. This means more than someone requiring assistance and is assessed on a case-by-case basis. If the person regains capacity, even briefly, the three-year time limit automatically starts from that date. It won't stop, even if they lose capacity again.
- Claims made for someone who's passed away: If you're claiming for someone who's no longer with us, you usually have three years from the date of their death to start court proceedings, or from when it would have become clear to a reasonable person that negligence caused their death.
