In many personal injury claims, the usual time limit is three years from the date you were injured or became ill.

In some cases, the three year period may run from the date you first realised that your injury or illness may have been linked to the landlord’s failure to act.

Different rules can apply for children and for people who lack mental capacity to manage their own legal affairs.

Time limits can be strict, so it is sensible to seek advice as early as possible.
