Injury claims in Scotland

Scottish Legal Aid is still available, if the individual qualifies. If they do not qualify then other funding options may be available. Injury claims could be privately funded or legal insurance might be available, but in Scotland the insurance premium is not recoverable against the defender.

A pursuer will have to demonstrate that they were owed a duty of care by the defender and that the accident occurred as a result of the failure in that duty towards them; or a failure in complying with statutory duties. The persuer will also need to show that the injurywas a consequence of those failures.

There are many different heads of claim which are considered in assessing the value of claims. The main one is Solatium, past and future wage loss, and services required as a result of the accident.

Solatium is to compensate for pain and suffering. It is similar to special damages in England. It covers all non-financial loss suffered by the claimant. Claims assessment takes into account the injury; the pursuer’s awareness of pain; the pain and suffering already experienced; future pain; and the loss of amenity.

Wage loss is usually easy to assess. If the claimant has missed out on work as a result of their condition then details of the earnings can be obtained and the loss calculated. Assessment of future wage loss is more complex and people making these calculations will need to refer to the Ogden Actuarial tables.

The pursuer’s net annual earnings at the current date will first be calculated. This will be multiplied by a figure taken from the Ogden tables to provide a figure for the future loss of earnings. The figure from will be considerably less than the years the claimant would have been expected to work had it not been for the accident.

The claimant is expected to invest the money to give them a financial return. The claimant will often incur a loss of their pension rights because of the future inability to work - this can be added to their claims. Actuarial reports will assess this and other claims and be included in the case.

The pursuer may require assistance following an accident. Assistance given by relatives or others can form part of the claims. Services that the pursuer used to give but is no longer able to provide, can be claimed.

With medical injury negligence cases, a report from an independent expert will always be required. A further report will be sought to show the direct link between the negligence and the injury. It is more difficult to prove negligence in a medical negligence case as courts use a much higher test. The defender will be liable if he fails to show reasonable care, and the judge will decide what is reasonable.

Car Insurance

When involved in a car accident and have suffered personal injury you can often worry about what will happen if you need to make an insurance claim. Will your car be off the road? Will you have to spend hours completing forms? What will happen if you are injured? How long will it take to receive treatment? We set out how a standard car accident claim might proceed smoothly.

You should notify your insurance company as soon as possible after an accident. You have three years from the date of the accident to make a car accident personal injury claim (this is longer if under 18 or incapacitated, please ask). Using the correct car accident claims company will ensure that you pay nothing at all and keep all of your compensation.

Complete your Car Insurance Claim Form. One of the first steps is to notify your insurance company (and note what to do immediately after an accident). The company will send you an insurance claim form to complete, although these days, many companies will help you to complete this form on the telephone or online.

If your car has been damaged, you will need to obtain estimates for the repair of it. When the car is beyond economical repair and you have comprehensive insurance, your insurance will advise you of the value. If your vehicle is being undervalued, your our solicitors will be able to help you prove the real value.

If your car was covered with third party insurance, and the accident was not your fault, you can recover claim on the other driver's insurance company (or the Motor Insurers' Bureau if the driver was not insured at all). If the valuation cannot be agreed then our solicitors will be able to instruct an engineer to value your vehicle accurately.

When injured during an accident, you will need an expert personal injury solicitor to help with your insurance accident compensation. They will deal with your insurance company and obtain copies of insurance claim forms already completed, and they will also contact the other driver's insurance company to claim for compensation costs. The insurance company will contact the police to obtain a copy of any accident reports and speak to witnesses.
