What is the time limit to make an amputation claim?
In most cases, you have up to three years from the date of the accident or the date you became aware that your injury was related to the accident to file an amputation claim.
There are however instances when the time limit can be different. This applies to:
- Children – When the injured person is a child under the age of 18, their parents or legal guardians can make a claim for them up until they turn 18. After that, they have three more years to submit their claim for themselves, until their 21st birthday.
- Mental capacity – If the injured individual does not have the mental ability to file a claim, there is no time restriction for them until they regain that capacity.
- Date of Knowledge – In some instances, the three-year time limit may begin from the date you realised that your injury was caused by the incident.
Make sure to consult with a specialist firm such as Accident Solicitors Direct to understand the specific deadlines which apply to your case.
