We have successfully handled thousands of personal injury claims across Scotland, covering every type of accident from minor car collisions to serious workplace injuries and medical negligence cases.

Our 98% success rate reflects our careful case selection and thorough preparation. We only take on cases that we believe have a genuine chance of success, and we work diligently to achieve the best possible outcome for every client.

Our Approach

We do things differently. We don't use legal jargon. We don't pressure people into making claims. And we always give honest advice — even if it means telling someone they might not have a valid claim.

Our approach is built on four principles:

  1. Honesty: We tell you the truth about your claim from day one. No false promises, no inflated expectations.
  2. Transparency: We explain every step of the process clearly, including costs, timescales, and what to expect.
  3. Communication: We keep you informed throughout your claim and are always available to answer questions.
  4. Results: We fight for the maximum compensation you are entitled to and never accept a settlement that undervalues your claim.

Why Scottish Law Is Different

Scotland has its own legal system. Understanding these differences is critical to maximising your claim.

3-Year Time Limit

Scotland gives you three years from the date of the accident to make a claim.

No Whiplash Cap

Unlike England, Scotland has no fixed tariff for whiplash claims. Compensation reflects actual injury severity.

Use a Scottish Solicitor

Scottish courts and procedures differ. A solicitor experienced in Scots law ensures your claim is handled correctly.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Scotland

Been in a car accident in Scotland? Follow these steps to protect your health, your rights, and your compensation claim.

Step 1: Check for Injuries and Call 999

Your safety comes first. Check yourself and passengers for injuries. Call 999 immediately if anyone is hurt. Whiplash, soft tissue injuries, and concussion may not appear for 24–72 hours.

Step 2: Exchange Details

You are legally required to stop and exchange details: full name, address, phone number, vehicle registration, and insurance details.

Step 3: Gather Evidence at the Scene

Photograph vehicle damage, road layout, traffic signs, weather conditions, and skid marks. Save dashcam footage immediately. Collect witness names and phone numbers.

Step 4: Report the Accident

Report to Police Scotland if anyone is injured, the other driver fails to stop, or you suspect drink-driving. Report within 24 hours.

Step 5: See a Doctor

See your GP or A&E even if you feel fine. Whiplash, back pain, and psychological injuries like anxiety and PTSD often have delayed onset. A medical record strengthens your claim.

Step 6: Notify Your Insurer

Most policies require you to report any accident promptly. Stick to the facts, do not admit fault, and do not accept a quick settlement without legal advice.

Step 7: Contact a Solicitor

Get free, no-obligation advice from a Scottish personal injury solicitor. A good solicitor works on a no win no fee basis.

Scotland-Specific Considerations

Scotland has a 3-year time limit for personal injury claims (vs 2 years in England). There is no whiplash tariff cap in Scotland. Cases are heard in Scottish courts under Scots law. Under contributory negligence, your compensation is reduced proportionally rather than eliminated.

How Does a Personal Injury Claim Work?

Step 1: Free consultation — tell us about your accident. Step 2: We handle everything — evidence, medical reports, negotiations. Step 3: You receive your personal injury compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to make a personal injury claim in Scotland?

You generally have three years from the date of the accident to start a personal injury claim in Scotland.

What does No Win No Fee mean?

No Win No Fee means you don't pay any legal fees unless your claim is successful. If we don't win, you owe nothing.

How much compensation could I receive?

Compensation depends on the type and severity of your injury, plus financial losses like lost wages or medical expenses.

Do I have to report a car accident to the police in Scotland?

You must report to Police Scotland if anyone is injured, if the other driver fails to stop, or if you cannot exchange details at the scene.

Can I still claim if the accident was partly my fault?

Yes. Under contributory negligence rules in Scotland, your compensation may be reduced by the percentage you were at fault, but you can still claim.

Should I see a doctor even if I feel fine after an accident?

Absolutely. Whiplash, soft tissue injuries, and concussion may not produce symptoms for hours or days. A prompt medical record strengthens your claim.
