Understanding Accident Claims In Scotland

Anyone making an accident claim in Scotland needs to be aware of the Scottish system.

Understanding such a system will help to navigate the accident claims process and ensure the compensation that you deserve is received within a reasonable timeframe.

Making the most of your claim relies on your understating of how English and Scottish accident claims vary, including: 

The need to make an accident claim within three years of an incident
‍
The necessity of serving court proceedings direct to your defendant
‍
The ability to bring a compensation claim against anyone over the age of 16

Failure to consider these priorities, or seeking the help of an accident claims company outside of Scotland, could see your claim either sitting outside of Scottish time frames or left null and void by mistakes, such as serving court proceedings to a defendant’s solicitor, as is commonplace in England. 

These mistakes leave you at risk of further complicating an already difficult process, highlighting the need to seek help and guidance from a trustworthy claims team, with ample experience in navigating Scottish systems to get the most for their clients.

Types of Accident Claims - Road Traffic Accident(s)

Anyone involved in an accident that wasn’t their fault is entitled to make an accident claim and should do so before the three-year Scottish time limit expires. 

Common types of accident claims that are most often pursued include:
‍
Road Traffic Accidents

‍ 4,992 road traffic accidents were recorded in Scotland during 2020, including car, bike, and bus accidents, as well as airbag injuries, seat belt injuries, and so on. 

Whether you or your passengers were injured as a result of accidents like these, seeking timely compensation is essential, especially in cases of ongoing pain, time off the road, and the need for extensive vehicle repairs. 

Road traffic accident claims in Scotland must be made by a Scottish solicitor and can include claims which involve negligent driving, drunk driving, car malfunction and weather conditions, among other things.

Types of Accident Claims - Accidents At Work

Scottish health and safety statistics outline that there are as many as 41,000 non-fatal workplace injuries each year. 
‍
Workplace accident claims tend to revolve around construction site injuries, industrial accidents and office accidents, each of which can lead to a range of serious consequences including musculoskeletal disorders, respiratory diseases, noise-induced hearing loss, and more. Injuries of this nature can especially help to bring to light faulty equipment, and managers who are neglecting their duty of care.

Types of Accident Claims - Slip, Trip And Fall Accidents

As well as being surprisingly common, slip, trip, and fall accidents can lead to a wide range of injuries, including cuts, broken bones, and even head injuries. 

Accidents like these typically occur in public spaces including supermarkets, shops and workplaces, as a result of wet floors, poor lighting, and unexpected obstacles to name a few. 

In these instances, Scottish claimants tend to have three years to make a claim, unless the injured party is below 16 or has suffered severe brain trauma as a result of their injury. 

Financial claims can be made against losses including loss of earnings, medical expenses, care and assistance costs, and so on.

Everyday We Help The People Of Scotland Claim What They Deserve

Here are just some of the people we've helped this year, using our Claims Management process.

Man
Mike's Story...

I tripped on a piece of broken pavement in my local Borough. My injuries required surgery and although I am retired, I still wanted my local council to take responsibility for their negligence and pursued a personal injury claim with Nevis Beck. They were very professional throughout the whole process and managed to get me fair compensation without any hassle or complications due to their experience in dealing with compensation claims like mine. I would highly recommend them to anyone who has suffered an injury through no fault of their own!

Lady
Jane's Story...

I recently suffered an injury at work that was caused by my colleagues carelessness, and I was out of work for six months as a result. As soon as I hired Nevis Beck, they were incredibly helpful, contacting my employer on my behalf and keeping me up to date with the progress of my claim every step of the way. In the end, they won me an excellent settlement from my employer, which will allow me to take further time off work to fully recover, without worrying about money – something that would have been very difficult if it weren’t for their help.

Seeking Compensation After An Accident

Seeking expert legal advice is your best possible option for ensuring compensation after an accident. 

Reaching out to solicitors with extensive experience within accident claims, Scotland, is essential and has even become a legal requirement in cases such as road traffic accidents. 

Once you have an expert team like our professionals here at Nevis Beck in your corner, it’s important that you understand what you can expect on your journey to compensation, and how long this process is likely to take. 

To some extent, these priorities will vary a great deal depending on your case and circumstances, but terms that you could especially benefit from understanding when you embark on an accident claim include 

Early Compensation Payments

‍Early compensation payments, or interim payments, are a part of your compensation that’s received in advance of your final settlement, with the agreement of the opponent. 

These payments can be used for immediate requirements including essential bills, medical treatment and transportation costs.

Settlement Out Of Court

‍Most seen in workplace accident claims, settlements out of court are offered by an opponent’s solicitor before going to court, and replace legal proceedings if accepted. 

‍Taking The Claim To Court

‍When an injured party does not accept settlement terms outlined out of court, their solicitor will take their claim to court, where further negotiations will be made until an agreement is reached. 

Even in these cases, it’s rare for an accident claim to be heard by a judge before a settlement is made.

Questions

Please see below common questions that are asked by clients, with answers provided by members of our specialist team.

Can I Make An Accident Claim If I Haven’t Received Any Medical Treatment?

It is possible to make a claim before receiving any medical treatment for an injury, though satisfactory compensation is unlikely in cases without medical evidence.

Can I Still Make A Claim If An Accident Was My Fault?

Successful accident claims can’t be pursued if an accident was entirely your fault, but you may still have a case if your actions are only partially to blame.

How Long Do I Have To Make An Accident Claim In Scotland?

Most commonly, accident claims in Scotland should be made within three years, though there are exceptions that your solicitor can talk you through, including when an injured party is under 16-years-old or with extreme injuries such as brain damage.
