WHAT IF IT HAPPENED A WHILE AGO?
There are time limits for making a claim for compensation. Each case is considered on its own facts, so depending on circumstances, a claim may still be successful, despite being outside of the time limit. It is, however, important that a claim is pursued as soon as possible to avoid any time limit complications.
