There are some exceptions to this rule. Some of these exceptions are:-

• If you are under the age of 18 when your accident occurs then you have until your 21st birthday regardless of when you were injured.
• In the cases of a disease or hearing loss then you have to bring your claim within 3 years of when you knew that your condition someone else’s fault or contracted whilst at work.

What will it cost me?

Nothing! We will not ask you to pay for any legal fees out of your own pocket and generally offer what is known as a No Win, No Fee agreements (subject to terms and conditions). These agreements are not suitable for everyone but our specialist solicitors will advise you as to the most suitable option.

All of it! Nothing will be deducted from your compensation at all.
