Some of the successful personal injury claims we regularly advise on include:
Employers must ensure the work environment is safe at all times and to ensure that team members are adequately equipped and trained. Most accidents at work are caused as a result of negligence, and the injured person should be compensated accordingly.

Many workplaces include inherent risks, and it is the employer’s responsibility to manage and reduce risk. If they haven’t done this, they could be liable for claims for any accidents suffered at work.
Reports suggest that individuals who have suffered an accident or illness within their workplace are most likely placed under financial and emotional hardship. In some circumstances, depending on the extent of the injuries suffered, people are either under pressure to make significant changes to their lifestyles and sometimes even professions or simply are unable to go back to work.
The duration of settlement can vary greatly but simple cases where negligence was admitted are settled within 12 months. Larger, complex cases may require a longer settlement.
We also make sure to keep legal fees as low as possible and always have your best interests at heart.
We offer a no win, no fee service: This means that there is no financial risk to you. If we are unable to secure personal injury compensation for you, you won’t have to pay us anything.
The personal injury compensation claim amount for general damages is contingent upon the type and extent of trauma experienced, as well as the duration of the impact on one’s life. The severity of an injury is often gauged by things like the need for ongoing medical treatment and whether or not the injuries will heal at all.
In essence, there is no universally optimal settlement for damages, as each claim is unique dependant on the injury and varies based on individual circumstances. Once we have gathered all the evidence we need, we’re ready to work out how much compensation you deserve.
At Jones Whyte, our personal injury lawyers have a wealth of experience in handling a variety of successful personal injury claims. Here are some of the most common types of cases we see:
Road Traffic Accidents: If you find yourself injured in a road traffic accident where you’re not at fault, you might be pondering the process of seeking compensation for the incident involving your car or another vehicle. Whether it’s a bicycle accident involving a car or injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident caused by negligent driving, exploring potential compensation is well within your rights.
Workplace Accidents: If you’ve been injured at work, you may be able to make a claim for compensation. This includes accidents caused by a lack of proper training or faulty equipment, as well as injury resulted from slips, trips and falls.
Medical Negligence: If you’ve been harmed as a result of medical negligence, you may be able to make a claim for compensation. This could include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or a failure to provide adequate care.
Slip, Trip and Fall Accidents: If you’ve been injured as a result of a slip, trip or fall that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to make a claim for compensation. This includes injuries sustained in public places, such as supermarkets and shopping centres.
Product Liability: If you’ve been injured as a result of a faulty product, you may be able to make a claim for compensation.
When you claim with Jones Whyte, our team of work injury compensation specialists will support you every step of the way, providing advice and making sure you know what to expect. To begin with, one of our work injury lawyers will take your statement. This will help establish exactly what happened, whether it was a single incident or a pattern of negligence. We will then thoroughly investigate the incident. This can include gathering evidence from your side, such as:
It may also involve looking at workplace policies and training, to see if these adequately manage the risk of injury. Finally, the other side is informed of the claim, and the appropriate amount of compensation is calculated. Very few claims go to court. However, if court action is necessary, our work injury compensation lawyers are tough and experienced litigators.
Some workplaces are inherently more risky than others. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t claim for an injury suffered in a workplace seen as “safe”, especially if it wasn’t your fault.
For example, if you trip and fall in an office because the flooring is damaged, then you have every right to recover compensation for any harm incurred.
At Jones Whyte, we focus on client care and have helped workers in all sorts of industries make personal injury claims. Not only can this ensure you get the compensation you deserve, but it can also give you access to medical treatment to aid your recovery. It can also ensure that lessons are learned, workplace processes are improved and people don’t suffer injuries in the same way in the future.
We have a proven track record, so speak to us straight away if you have had an injury at work. There are time limits for making personal injury claims, so it is important to start the claims process before these expire.

We offer a ‘no win no fee service’. This means that you do not have to cover any outlays that we incur concerning the working progress of your case if your solicitor is unable to secure compensation for you. If you are however awarded damages, the legal fees are mostly covered by a percentage of your compensation.
Each claim is different and therefore determining how much it will be worth depends on individual circumstances. Generally, factors that affect the amount of compensation are the extent of your injuries, the cost you have incurred as a result of the accident as well the value of the losses occurring from your injuries.
The amount of compensation you will receive depends on the negotiations between your solicitor and the insurance companies. In circumstances where there are court proceedings, the court will exercise its discretion when establishing damages for the Pursuer.
