Understanding Personal Injury Claims

Making a personal injury claim becomes essential when you suffer an injury or illness due to negligence. The circumstances of the claim determine the compensation amount, and we offer support for various types of personal injury claims.

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 have up to three years from the date of the incident or the diagnosis of your illness to file a personal injury claim.

However, it’s best to contact us as soon as possible. Acting quickly ensures that all relevant information is fresh and increases the likelihood of obtaining accurate witness statements to support your case.

Some exceptions to the three-year rule include:

  • Accidents at sea: You have two years to claim the date you left the ship.
  • Accidents abroad: The time limit depends on the laws of the country where the accident occurred.
  • Criminal injury claims: These are handled by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA), which sets a two-year deadline for filing a claim.
  • Claims for children: These claims can be made at any time before the child’s 18th birthday. Once the child turns 18, they can file their own claim at any point until they turn 21.
     

If your claim is older than three years, we still encourage you to reach out, as certain exceptions may apply.

Each personal injury claim is different and how long it takes will depend on the circumstances of the claim.

However, establishing liability for the claim can often be a long process. If the other party isn’t willing to accept responsibility for your injury, for example, then this can make the claim go on for longer.

The outcome of your claim will depend heavily on the evidence you’re able to provide. The most important pieces of evidence you can provide should:

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

We may ask for other forms of evidence, but these are often the most crucial. In short, keep a record of everything you think is relevant and get the details of any witnesses if there are any.

Depending on the circumstances of your case, your claim could go to court. However, it is unlikely, as reports show only around 5% of all personal injury claims go to court.
