The Limitation Act is a law that places a time limit on pursuing legal action in relation to negligent conduct. After the expiration of the statutory period, the injured person loses the right to file a lawsuit seeking money damages or other relief. The statutory period to commence legal proceedings is three (3) years from the date of the accident.
Although you do have years to begin the process, litigation can be at its most effective when undertaken immediately following an accident. Considering the costs and expenses from an injury can pile up very quickly, solving your legal troubles first will allow you to focus on getting better without the overarching worry that your financial well-being is at risk. Again, to reiterate with the introduction of the Actuarial Tables for Personal Injury and Death Claims 2021, the awards for serious injuries and death could be substantially higher. It is therefore important that you seek an experienced injury lawyer to represent you to make the claim on your behalf. The link to be multiplier Table can be viewed HERE.
