The general rule is that court proceedings must be started within three years of the incident that gives rise to the claim (or when you realised that you had suffered a significant injury as a result, if you only became aware of this later).
If you were under 18 at the time, the time limit does not start to run until you reach 18. There are, however, exceptions to the general time limit of three years and in some cases it can be less than three years (for example, air and sea accidents and criminal injuries compensation claims).
It is therefore best that you seek legal advice as soon as possible after you have been injured.
