Time Limits Apply – Act Now

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to bring a public liability claim. If you’re claiming on behalf of a child or someone who lacks capacity, different rules apply. It’s best to get legal advice early to protect your rights.

Time limits – Act fast to secure your claim

The time limit for making a CICA claim is typically two years from the date of the crime. It’s crucial to act as soon as possible to ensure your claim is processed in time. However, if there are exceptional circumstances, we may be able to help extend this time frame.
