Is there a time limit?

There are many strict time limits within which a claim must be made.

The time limit will vary depending on  individual circumstances.

In general you only have 3 years from the date that you became aware of the error or mistake.  The time limits are extended for those under the age of 21 or for people under a mental incapacity.

In all cases it is very important that if you suspect that you or a close relative has been the victim of a medical accident you must seek the advice of a solicitor as soon as possible
