There are many different incidents that could potentially occur and thus there are many reasons why people may look to make a personal injury claim.

Where to begin?

There is only one place to begin and this is by establishing who caused the incident. If you are to make a successful accident compensation claim you might need to be able to show that someone else is to blame for your suffering. Thus, if you were injured in, for example, a car crash, you might well need to show that another driver or individual caused it. If you suffered because of a faulty product, you will need to prove that the manufacturer is responsible and that you did not cause the incident.

If you could show that someone else caused the incident in question the next thing to do is determine the date of the accident. This is because there is an accident claims time limit on all claims for compensation. This time limit is three years in most cases. You would usually have three years, which starts from the day of the accident and court proceedings must be issued within this time frame. There are exceptions. This relates to scenarios where the injuries have occurred over time, and thus it would not be possible to pinpoint a date of the accident. In such circumstances, you could have three years from your diagnosis date instead.
