Time Limits for Psychological Injuries Compensation Claims
You have three years from the date of the psychological injury or the date you became aware of its connection to an accident to start a psychological injury claim. The Limitation Act 1980 sets this time limit, which applies to most psychological injury claims in England and Wales. If you delay beyond this period, your claim may become invalid unless exceptional circumstances apply.
You must also consider when the injury was diagnosed or when symptoms became evident, as these dates can affect the start of the limitation period. For example, if symptoms develop weeks or months after an incident, the three-year period begins from that diagnosis date.
Where the claimant lacks mental capacity, there is no time limit for claiming. In these cases, the 3-year time limit only applies if a medical professional agrees that the injured party has regained mental capacity. The 3-year limitation period does not begin for children until their 18th birthday (claims can be made before this date, however with the help of a Litigation Friend).
Unsure about time limits or when to begin your psychological injury compensation claim? If so, please call today for clarification.
What Types Of Evidence Can Help With Psychological Injury Claims?
Gathering strong evidence plays a vital role in supporting all personal injury claims. The key types of evidence include:
Medical reports from psychiatrists, psychologists, or GPs confirming the diagnosis and impact of your condition
Accident reports or records detailing the event causing the injury, such as workplace incident reports or police records
Witness statements from colleagues, friends, or family describing changes in your behaviour or symptoms
Employment records showing absences or reduced capacity due to the injury
Treatment records covering counselling, therapy, or medication prescribed for your condition
Such evidence establishes the link between the injury and the other party’s negligence and proves the extent of harm suffered.
