Time Limits

 
All negligence claims are subject to time limits and it is therefore important that you do not delay in making your claim as soon as you know that something has gone wrong. In most professional negligence claims you have 6 years to issue court proceedings.

Time limits can be extremely complicated and mistakes by solicitors about time limits often give rise to a large number of claims. As a general rule, the 6 year period starts running from the date that your professional advisor was negligent or the date you suffered loss. However, if you can show that you were not aware that your professional adviser had been negligent until after the date of negligence, you may be entitled to more time.

It is not always easy to calculate the time limits in professional negligence claims and it is therefore important that you obtain prompt legal advice as soon as you discover that you may have a negligence claim.
