You daughter's claim can proceed at anytime even if she is still a minor.  If under 18 the claim will normally proceed with an adult (normally a parent) acting as a litigation friend.  Medical evidence can still be obtained now but I presume the expert will only be guessing as to how long the symptoms lasted.  

Why the change of heart now regards making a claim?  Are you a bit skint?  Any damages awarded will usually be directed to be held in trust by the Court's until the child Claimant reaches the age of majority anyway.

Go on I'm interested to know how.

I can imagine the report, I examined x today who shows no symptoms of being involved in a collision 9 years ago. 

Do you call that evidence?

People seem to think that if they post for LEGAL advice somehow they will get the definitive answer.

Here it is - As others have said - Go see a lawyer.

It would be evidence. But not terribly helpful to the OP.

Why wait so long?

If you are relying on the nursery letter  why did you not claim using it at the time?

Has she required any treatment or counselling  since the accident?
