If you have suffered an injury that you have discovered within
the last 3 years then you may be able to recover damages. A claim
for compensation must be settled or legal proceedings must have
been issued within three years of the event causing the injury.
Legal action will become statute barred if this time limit is
exceeded however there are some exceptions to this rule.
In claims for minors the three year period does not start running
until the eighteenth birthday
In clinical claims the three year period begins to run from the
date when the injury was first discovered
For people who suffer from mental incapacity the time may never
start to run
Judges have discretion to override the time limits
