How Long After a Car Accident Can I Claim Insurance Compensation in Cyprus

Under Cyprus law, the time limit for making a compensation claim after a car accident is generally three years from the date of the accident. This is known as the "limitation period".

However, it is important to note that it is best to file a claim for compensation as soon as possible after an accident, as delay can affect the strength of the claim and the ability to gather evidence. It is recommended to file a claim within the first few months after the accident, if possible and if you have all your evidence available.

Always Obtain Legal Advice Regarding the Correct Limitation Period for Legal Action

If a claim for compensation is not made within the limitation period of three years, the claim may be time-barred, and the car accident victim may no longer be able to pursue legal action to recover damages. Therefore, it's important to act promptly and seek legal advice as soon as possible after an accident injury to ensure that your legal rights are protected.

It's also worth noting that the time limit for making a claim may be different in certain circumstances, such as in cases involving children or individuals with mental incapacities. In such cases, the time limit may be extended or may not apply at all.
