How do I start an accident claim in Birmingham and how long do I have to make it?

A LegalEase Team Answered by

The steps for an accident claim in Birmingham depend on whether it happened at work, on the road, in a public place or elsewhere. Keep photographs, witness details, accident reports and medical records, and report the incident to the relevant organisation where appropriate. Personal injury claims are often subject to a three-year time limit from the accident or the date you became aware of the injury, but exceptions can apply, including for children or people lacking capacity. A solicitor regulated by the SRA can assess your circumstances, the evidence and any funding options.
