Personal injury claims in Scotland
Have you been injured following an accident in
Scotland? We may be able to assist with your claim
for compensation The legal environment in Scotland is
very different to England & Wales. One of the key
differences is that "No win No fee" legislation has yet
to be implemented.
Personal injury - Scottish claims
information:
You have 3 years to make a claim for personal injury.
This date runs from the accident and in real terms means
that you have to sue the other party before the three
years expires. There are some exceptions to this rule -
but they are rare. Most soft tissue personal injury
claims settle within 6-9 months.
The more serious the injury the longer a claim is
likely to take.
Whilst "no win no fee" legislation does not yet
operate north of the border, many Scottish law firms
will still offer you such an arrangement. You may be
able to make your claim on a NO WIN NO FEE basis.
