What is a “limitation period”?

It is a legal time limit that forces you to start a court proceeding within a specific period of time following the incident that caused your injury. Failure to do so is fatal to your right to recover compensation (damages).

The specific limitation periods for different matters range from several years to merely a number of months.

Critical periods relating to motor vehicle accidents are set out elsewhere in this guide and on our website. For other claims, we urge you to take the time to find out from a qualified source. Our experts would be more than happy to hear from you about the particulars of your situation and advise you accordingly.
