How Your Claim Works
Free Initial Consultation
Contact us by phone or email. We will listen to your story, assess whether you have a claim, and explain your options clearly with no obligation.
Gathering Evidence
We collect medical records, accident reports, witness statements, photographs, and any other evidence to build the strongest possible case.
Making Your Claim
We notify the other party (or their insurer) of your claim and set out the full details of your injuries, losses, and the compensation you are seeking.
Negotiation & Settlement
Most personal injury claims settle through negotiation. We fight for the maximum compensation and will not accept a low offer. If necessary, we will take your case to court.
Compensation Paid
Once your claim is settled, compensation is paid directly to you. We keep you informed throughout and there are no surprises with our fees.
Time Limits for Personal Injury Claims in Scotland
In Scotland, you generally have three years from the date of your accident (or the date you became aware of your injury) to bring a personal injury claim. For children, the three-year period begins on their 16th birthday. It is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible to ensure your claim is not time-barred and evidence is preserved.
Legal Aid for Personal Injury
We are registered with the Scottish Legal Aid Board (SLAB) and can assist eligible clients with legal aid funding for personal injury claims. This means that financial circumstances need not be a barrier to pursuing your claim. We also accept private fee-paying instructions and will always be upfront about costs before we begin work on your case.
