No Win No Fee Solicitors in Glasgow

Making a personal injury claim involves building a strong case, following a set procedure and adhering to tight deadlines. For instance, you might not be aware that you have three years from the date of the accident in which you were injured, or when you became aware of the injury, in which to bring a claim.

Importantly, you must satisfy three key criteria:

1. that the person or organisation you hold responsible for your injury owed you a duty of care, i.e. they had a legal responsibility not to cause you to suffer harm;
2. that the person or organisation did not observe the duty of care they owed you; and
3. that the person or organisation’s failure to observe the duty of care caused you to suffer injury.

These criteria must be established by clear evidence such as photos, witness statements and medical reports. If the evidence is strong, then the person or organisation liable for your injury may offer to settle the claim out of court. If so, it is vital to ensure they offer a fair amount of compensation that mirrors what you are legally entitled to (including for pain and suffering, loss of earnings and any damage done to your property).

If the other party does not accept liability, then depending on our view as to your prospects of success, we may advise that you take the matter before a court. The court will decide whether the claim meets the legal requirements and, if so, how much compensation should be awarded.
