How long do you have to bring a car accident claim in Chester?

Car accident claims fall under the personal injury bracket, which means there is usually a three-year time limit for bringing a claim. That said, exceptions can apply, particularly where children or individuals lacking mental capacity are involved. Because of these deadlines, it’s best to get in touch with us sooner rather than later. Having those early discussions is what enables us to preserve any evidence and begin building a strong, carefully prepared case on your behalf.

At Slater Heelis, we handle most car accident claims on a no-win, no-fee basis, which means you won’t pay fees until after compensation is successfully secured. The role of our team is to remove uncertainty wherever possible and help you understand the strengths of your case, the likely next steps, and all possible outcomes.
