“Posting on behalf of partner Natalie, Charlene has assisted me throughout my personal injury claim following a car collision. Charlene was fantastic from start to finish keeping me updated throughout the process. Very informative and helpful. Alison had also assisted me when Charlene was out of office – thank you both so much.”

 

HOW IT WORKS

How we deal with your claim

Start your claim

Step 1

For each claim, we appoint a dedicated case handler who will seek to understand as much about your circumstances as possible, and will ask you a number of questions about exactly what happened to you, the injury you have suffered, the treatment you have received and the ways in which you have lost out financially as a result of your injury.

Step 2

We will then begin drafting your claim to be intimated to the party that caused your injury. We will also ingather evidence to support your claim. This may include things such as witness statements, photographs of the accident site, medical reports, medical or expert opinion, copies of any accident or police reports and anything else we believe will assist in making your claim.

Step 3

It is always our priority to reach the best possible settlement without delay. In most cases, we aim to reach a negotiated settlement out of court. We may also be able to obtain interim payments for rehabilitation or care, before settlement of your case.

Step 4

The expertise of our people is complemented by our state-of-the-art case management software. This ensures integration of all the relationships and processes involved in a claim, however complex, and enables us to provide efficient reporting throughout. We know how important your case is to you, and so we will always keep you informed of how your claim is progressing.

Step 5

We offer support from the start of a claim through to aftercare and, as part of a full service law firm, we consider the wider legal context, for example whether a personal injury trust would be beneficial to protect a lump sum payment.

 

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

Making a claim

Accident Solicitors

If you’ve been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault within the last three years, it is important to seek advice from a personal injury solicitor as soon as possible. We can assess your situation to determine if you qualify for compensation for a personal injury claim. Exceptions to the three-year time limit may apply, such as cases involving children or individuals with diminished mental capacity due to head trauma.

We will have an initial telephone discussion with you and ask a series of questions, so that we can obtain all the relevant details required to assess the eligibility of your claim.

Everything will then be passed onto one of our experienced personal injury lawyers to assess your claim so we can advise if we are able to take on your claim.

At our firm, we guide our clients through each of these steps, ensuring that they understand their rights and the legal pathways available to them. Our dedicated team of personal injury solicitors in Scotland is committed to securing the best possible outcome, helping our clients through recovery and beyond.

FAQS

Navigating Personal Injury Claims: your questions answered

We are often asked about the financial aspects and time limits involved in pursuing a personal injury claim. Here’s what you need to know:

To maximise your personal injury claim, it’s essential to maintain a thorough record of all expenses and losses linked to your injury or illness. Keeping detailed documentary evidence of these costs is crucial for claiming the full amount of compensation you’re entitled to.

Solicitors assess the value of compensation in a personal injury claim by evaluating three main areas of loss: general damages for pain and suffering, past special damages for expenses incurred up to the date of settlement, and future special damages for anticipated losses.

In Scotland, the jurisdiction for a personal injury claim typically depends on whether the defender (the person or entity being sued) resides in Scotland or has their registered office here. Additionally, jurisdiction can be established if the incident causing the injury occurred within Scotland.

The time limit for filing most personal injury claims in Scotland, particularly those based on negligence, is three years. This period starts from the date when the injured party first became aware of the injury. It is crucial to initiate court proceedings within this timeframe to pursue compensation.

There are several ways in which your personal injury can be funded. Once our specialist personal injury solicitors have looked at your claim, we will then discuss what funding option will be the most suitable for your claim.

This could be:-

  • No Win No Fee
  • Legal Aid
  • Legal expenses cover
  • After the event insurance

No, any compensation you receive as a result of your personal injury claim will not be liable for a tax deduction.

In the event that you receive a sizeable amount of compensation, we have specialist solicitors that can speak to you and advise of the best way to manage your settlement.
