*“No win, no fee” refers to a Scots law speculative fee agreement: in most cases there's nothing to pay up front and nothing to pay if your claim isn't successful. QOCS costs protection under the Civil Litigation (Expenses and Group Proceedings) (Scotland) Act 2018 also applies in most cases. Terms depend on your agreement with your solicitor.

Scots law, plain English

Making a personal injury claim in Scotland

If you've been injured in an accident in Scotland that wasn't your fault, you may be able to make a personal injury claim for compensation. Scotland has its own distinct legal system, so Scottish injury claims are handled under Scots law — not the rules that apply elsewhere in the UK. Whether it was a road traffic accident, an accident at work, a slip or trip in a public place, or possible medical negligence, the specialist Scottish solicitors we work with could assess your case and explain your options. Most claims can be pursued on a no win, no fee basis, and there's generally a three-year time limit to bring a claim under the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973.

What a claim can cover

What you could be owed

If your injury wasn't your fault, you could be owed more than you'd expect — not just for the injury itself, but for everything it has cost you.

What you could receive depends on your circumstances.

  • Your injury

    The pain and how it has affected your life (known in Scots law as solatium).

  • Treatment and recovery

    Physiotherapy, counselling, care and rehabilitation.

  • Lost earnings

    Past and future, if you've had time off or can't work as you did.

  • Care and support

    Including help you've needed from family.

  • Out-of-pocket costs

    Travel to appointments, medical expenses, aids and adaptations.

Frequently asked questions

Will it cost me anything to check?
No — checking whether you can claim is free, and there's no obligation to go ahead.
How long do I have to claim in Scotland?
Generally three years from the date of the accident, or from when you became aware of your injury, though it's best not to wait. Under the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973, different rules apply to children and those lacking capacity.
What does “no win, no fee” mean in Scotland?
It usually means a speculative fee agreement: if your claim isn't successful, you generally won't pay the solicitor's fees. QOCS protection under the Civil Litigation (Expenses and Group Proceedings) (Scotland) Act 2018 also applies in most cases.
What if the accident was partly my fault?
You may still be able to claim a reduced amount, so it's worth checking. This is called contributory negligence under Scots law.
Do you cover the whole of Scotland?
Yes — wherever in Scotland your accident happened, we can connect you with specialist Scottish solicitors.
