What if my collision was over 3 years ago? PDF Print E-mail

An adult's right to claim injury compensation in England and Wales will normally expire if it has not been settled or presented at court within 3 years. In only limited circumstances will the courts allow extra time.

Your teenager may not appreciate being called an infant, but that is the term used by the courts for anyone under 18! The time limit for infants is extended until their 21st birthday.

If you are currently under the age of 18 and wish to make make a claim, you will need an adult litigation friend (usually a parent or guardian) to act on your behalf.
