At ACP Legals, we help victims of accidents claim what they’re legally owed. Here’s what you need to know about filing a personal injury claim in Cyprus.

Types of Accident Claims We Handle

•Road Traffic Accidents (drivers, passengers, pedestrians)

•Workplace Injuries

•Slips and falls in public or private property

•Defective product injuries

•Medical negligence

Whether you are a Cypriot resident or a tourist, your rights are protected under Cyprus civil law.

Your Right to Compensation

If someone else is at fault—even partly—you may claim for:

•Medical expenses (current and future)

•Loss of income

•Pain and suffering

•Psychological trauma

•Permanent disability

Cyprus applies the principles of tort law and comparative negligence, meaning compensation may be reduced if you were partly responsible.

What to Do After an Accident

1.Seek medical attention immediately.

2.Report the incident (to the police, employer, or premises owner).

3.Gather evidence: photos, witness contacts, accident reports.

4.Contact a lawyer before speaking with insurers or signing anything.

Even minor injuries can have long-term consequences, so don’t settle without legal advice.

Time Limits to File a Claim

In most cases, you have 3 years from the date of the accident to file a claim in Cyprus. However:

•Shorter deadlines may apply in claims against public authorities

•In cases involving minors, the countdown starts at age 18

The Legal Process

1.Initial consultation and evidence review

2.Notification to the responsible party and insurance company

3.Negotiation of settlement or compensation

4.If unresolved: Court proceedings in the District Court

5.Expert medical reports may be required to prove damages

Most cases are settled out of court with legal representation.

Tourists and Foreign Visitors

Injured while visiting Cyprus? You may still bring a claim, either:

•Under Cyprus law if the accident occurred locally

•Or under EU law if your insurer covers cross-border claims

We represent both locals and non-residents.
