CCTV cameras prove their worth again in defence of this injury claim.
We strongly recommend business owners retain CCTV footage for a minimum of 60 days (and at least 6 months in the event of an incident that they may need to defend)
Claimants are in theory supposed to notify their intention to claim within 2 months of accident, but this provision of the Courts Act 2004 is largely ignored.
A claim for injury can be brought up to 2 years later (the statute of limitations), with certain exemptions, for example injury to minors, or where an injustice would result by observing the limit..
