We would recommend making your claim at the earliest opportunity, as the law within the United Kingdom only allows an adult three years from the date of the accident or injury for a claim to be made. If the claim was to be brought outside of this time limit, you may have lost your legal right to bring a claim for compensation. If you have an accident before you reach 18 years of age, you have 3 years from your 18th birthday in which to bring Court proceedings for the claim.

The amount you receive can vary dramatically depending on your personal circumstances and the circumstances of your accident. Each claim is unique and therefore it is not possible to make a guess as to how much you will be entitled to.
