Time limits
It is important to be aware of the time limits involved
in bringing a claim. In most cases, a claim for damages
as a result of injuries must be issued (ie, court proceedings commenced) within three years of the date of
the negligent act or omission. On occasion, it may be
the case that the limitation period starts on a later date
if you first became aware of a significant injury that
may have been caused by a negligent act or omission.

“Although vaccinations are crucial in preventing illness, it is
vitally important that those administering them are adequately
trained and are injecting their patients with due care and attention, adopting appropriate intramuscular vaccination techniques. I would urge anyone who has been affected by SIRVA
to come forward so that they have the opportunity to obtain
legal advice as to whether or not they may have a claim”.
