Key criteria
A claim must usually be made within a three-year window, starting from the date you knew of your injury.
To win a personal injury case, it should be demonstrated that:
- The Defendant owed you a duty of care
- The Defendant breached that duty

Starting your claim sooner should allow the solicitor to help collate supporting witness statements and other evidence.
