Personal Injury solicitor's negligence in missing time limit

Mr M suffered serious knee injuries as a result of a car accident. He instructed Personal Injury solicitors Lucas & Co to act in his injury claim. Lucas & Co failed to issue proceedings within the three year time limit from the date of his accident. Mr M therefore lost the chance to pursue his Personal Injury claim. The Defendants in the original claim had, before the claim became time barred, offered only £3,000 to Mr M to settle his claim. We acted for Mr M in his claim against Lucas & Co and succeeded in settling his case with damages of £30,000.
