Accident claim - Scotland

Information on making an accident claim in Scotland.

The legal environment in Scotland is slightly different to England & Wales. If you wish to pursue a claim then it is important that you instruct a Scottish lawyer or personal injury solicitor to assist you.

Scottish accident compensation claims:

The general time limit for pursuing personal injury accident claims is 3 years running from the date of any event that led to the injury. This period is not etched in stone (click to find out more) but it is a deadline to be taken seriously and it applies in the majority of accident claims.  

Accident claims in Scotland and anywhere else for that matter always involve legal documentation and you should be prepared for some heavy reading. But don't be put off by this - it will be a worthwhile exercise.

Your Scottish solicitor will help you through the process.  

The claimants recovery from the injuries sustained is a crucial factor in the accident claims process.   

It is important that you are adequately compensated for your injuries but you should also receive help with physiotherapy and treatment wherever possible.   Accident claims need to be proven and it will be necessary for you to be medically examined at some stage during the claim. A local doctor will assess your personal injury and report on your recovery.

This then allows your solicitors to place a value on the personal injury that has been suffered.
