A public authority has caused me harm
You can claim compensation for the authority's liability within one year of the harm or of when its after-effects become known.
Deadline
One year from the event or from when the harm becomes apparent.
«El derecho a reclamar prescribirá al año de producido el hecho o el acto que motive la indemnización o se manifieste su efecto lesivo.»
For injuries
The year starts from recovery or from when the after-effects are determined.
«En caso de daños de carácter físico o psíquico a las personas, el plazo empezará a computarse desde la curación o la determinación del alcance de las secuelas.»
