Road Traffic Accident Claims
If you were injured in a car accident or another road traffic accident, you may still be entitled to compensation.
You can find information about making a claim through the Official Injury Claim service, which helps eligible people make certain road traffic accident injury claims in England and Wales.
Accidents That Happened More Than Three Years Ago
Although most personal injury claims are subject to a three-year limitation period, exceptions can apply in certain circumstances, including some claims involving children or people who lack mental capacity.
If you’re unsure whether the time limit applies to your circumstances, you may wish to seek independent legal advice.
Accidents Outside England and Wales
Different legal rules and time limits may apply depending on where your accident happened.
We recommend speaking with a solicitor who specialises in personal injury claims in the country where the accident occurred.
Already Have a Solicitor?
If you’ve already instructed a solicitor, we recommend discussing any questions or concerns about your claim directly with them.
