Local Context for Lorry Accident Solicitor in Cardiff

Wales Motor Vehicle Injury Rules
In Wales, the limitation period for personal injury claims is 3 years from the date of injury (Limitation Act 1980, s.11). Missing this deadline typically bars your claim permanently.
Wrongful death claims must be filed within 3 years under Fatal Accidents Act 1976.
