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.

Some basic steps in the event of a road accident

If you are involved in a road accident where someone other than yourself has been hurt or damage has been caused to property or an animal, then you must stop and give your name and address and your vehicle's full registration number, and insurance details (if you have them), to any third parties involved.

You must by UK law report it to the police within a 24 hour period, if you have not actually stopped and/or not been able to provide all details of name and address, vehicle registration and basic insurance details to all the parties.

Be sure to make a note of the manufacturer, colour and model of the vehicles involved, together with their number plate. Note the actual damage to other vehicles, by taking photographs where possible. Make a note of all the other drivers' names and their full address details.

Make a note of all witness names and full addresses. Contact the police in all but the simplest of accidents. Never make any admissions about your own or others liability. Produce a sketch plan of the accident scene and where all the vehicles finished (with some proper measurements of where the vehicles finished).

Write down your own version of the incident details. Ring your insurers as soon as possible afterwards to make your accident claim. If you have suffered injury in any way, get it checked out by a doctor. If the accident was not your fault and you have suffered even a slight injury then you should consider damages. You do not need to use the actual solicitors chosen by your insurers. They may be suitable for your insurance company, but they are not always best for you. If your vehicle will be off the road for a little while then you may be entitled to a hire vehicle from the compensation.

Many of us associate road accidents with a vehicle crash or a motoring incident. Sadly, most of us in our overall driving lives will have the experience of at least one such incident.

Many of these incidents do not result in serious injury. But if you are injured in an incident (either as the driver or passenger) - whether it is simple bruising or a whiplash, or possibly something even more serious, it's worth finding out if you possibly have a case for compensation.

A road accident is treated in the UK in exactly the same way as any other type of accident. You need to establish that it is a third party’s fault (or partly a third party’s fault or negligence).

By law, all drivers must have purchased a minimum of third party cover. Their insurance company will pay if the driver causes injury or damage to a third party (including all passengers). If you are involved in an accident with an uninsured driver, or with a driver who doesn't stop at the scene of the accident, then your claims are quite possibly covered by an agreement by the MIB.
