Is there a time limit to make an accident at work claim in Sunderland?

In England and Wales, the time limit to make a claim for an accident at work is set at three years after the day of the incident. That's a very well defined window, and there's no wiggle room, so you must start to make an accident at work claim in Sunderland as soon as possible. If you try to claim outside of that three-year period then your claim may be considered time-barred, and you will be ineligible for compensation.

Winn Solicitors was extremely helpful and effective in resolving an issue I had with a car repair company. I have every confidence, that any further issues that may arise in relation to the progression of my case, will be dealt with in the same efficient manner. Thank you.

Brilliant service, I was driven into and the other party tried to blame me, even when I had dash cam footage showing they entered my lane when it wasn’t safe to do so. Their insurance kept dragging their heels. Winns sorted the issue.
