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.

Work accident checklist

Firstly, make sure the accident is be noted in the company's accident record book (this is normally required by law for companies with more than ten employees). If there is not a company accident book, or if no other manager has made a note of the accident then you should inform your employer in writing of the full detailed circumstances of the accident and the details of the personal injury you have suffered as a result.

Do you have a possible case? You will need to prove that your employer has caused the injury through his failure to take reasonable care to prevent the injury happening in the first place – to you, the employee (there are different legal clauses regarding subcontractors or company visitors to workplaces).

This means that the employer must provide a safe way to carry out your work to avoid injury; completely safe and accident-free premises; suitable equipment; adequate supervision; competent staff training and so on.

Your employer must always ensure that you are able to carry out your work in the safest possible way, bearing in mind the precise type of work you do, the equipment that you use and your tasks. These facts are relevant to the possible accident claim, and standards within the employer's industry can be used as a benchmark to assess whether the company has done enough to avoid the accident.

If there are known accident dangers then it's the company's responsibilities and the employee needs to be advised of these dangers and must be trained in these tasks to avoid any incident eg if the job involves heavy lifting then employees must be advised on the safest way to lift, in order to prevent injury. Accident safety checks must be made regularly to demonstrate that all these methods are being fully adopted in the workplace.

Your employer must also make sure that the specific places where you work and the company premises are completely safe for their employees and subcontractors. One example of a very clear breach of this duty would be if the floors were wet or obstructed, so that staff could have an accident by falling over them, resulting in accidents. All companies are also responsible for the heating and ventilation of their offices and work premises, the efficiency of the lighting and even the eveness of the car park surfaces.

Your employer is also responsible for providing appropriate equipment to do your job, also the training on how to use the equipment, plus how to check it and maintain it, and how to use it correctly tby providing full and proper training and supervision to avoid accidents.

Company training should cover all the equipment that you use - from your chair to an electric drill or the wastebin. The employer always has full responsibility for all equipment and the way that you use it in the course of your work.

Your employer must also make sure that employees are competent in their jobs, and that they do not put others at risk by what their actions. When an employee injures another employee through failure to use their equipment properly, or they have a drug problem for example, then the company could be liable for dangerous actions and a number of potentially safety-related claims may be available.
