Everything you need to know about
making a personal injury claim

In general, you have three years to make a claim - but the sooner you do, the better. The longer you leave it, the more chance there is that vital evidence will be lost.

How long do I have to make a claim?

What can I claim for?

You can claim for loss and suffering which means you get a payment for the pain you endured as well as your losses: time off work, future earnings and any additional expenses.

This is incredibly difficult to say. However, we have a long track record of making sure our clients get the best possible financial outcome; in many cases, a larger sum than the insurers' first offer. Our investigation process ensures we cover every aspect of what you can claim for.

How much will I get?

How do I know if someone else was at fault?

How do I get started?

We make it quick and painless to speak with a legal expert and raise an injury claim fast. Just give us a call - day or night.

How long will my claim take to settle?

That entirely depends on what happened to you, the extent of the injuries and whether who was to blame is disputed. Our priority is recovering the full amount of compensation that you are entitled to.

Even if the evidence suggests that you are partly to blame, you might still be able to obtain compensation. We can help you gather evidence and establish liability for the accident.

What type of claim can I make?

• Road Traffic Accidents. We represent all road users including drivers, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and users of public transport.
• Workplace Accidents. We work across numerous sectors and regularly support clients employed in construction, farming, warehouses, factories, fishing, shipping and offshore.
• Accidents Abroad. Our remit with cross-border cases extends to Scottish holidaymakers and workers who are travelling abroad as well as foreign nationals visiting Scotland.
• Accidents in Public Places. We investigate failures and oversights that have taken place on specific premises such as a shop, supermarket, restaurant, gym, cinema, stadium or car park.
• Defective Products. We establish liability that arises from faulty or broken items, broadly ranging from improperly manufactured bicycles to defective medical implants to foreign objects in food.
• Industrial Diseases. We specialise in asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma, pleural plaques and asbestosis.
• Serious and Fatal Injuries. Our dedicated department of accredited experts is here to provide comprehensive support if a death or catastrophic injury has occurred as the result of an unexpected event.

We help people all over Scotland who have been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence in a wide variety of circumstances.

How will my case be funded?

We operate a ‘no win no fee’ funding scheme, Compensate, which allows your case to be fully investigated, employs the best experts and secures the maximum compensation at no financial risk to you.

We do not charge you any money upfront or during the case. We agree a percentage of your compensation at the very start which you pay us on successfully concluding your case.

If your case is unsuccessful, you don't pay anything - it is risk free.*

* T&Cs apply - you must accept our advice and tell the truth about the circumstances and injuries sustained.
