The long term limitation statue to claim damages for a road accident.
If it is the case of a damage caused by an unlawful act, such as a wilful misconduct or wrongful behaviour, which means an intentional action put in place in a reckless way with inattention.
Our Law provides that the right to claim damages for an unlawful act will expire after 5 years from the date the accident happened.
The long term limitation statue is applied, for example, when the dameges are not caused by road traffic but by a road pitfall, such as a hole on the road surface.
