Leg Injury Compensation Claims, Scotland

Leg injuries can be caused by slips trips and falls. Sports injuries to the leg are common, and the legs are one of the most vulnerable body parts if you are in a car crash. A broken leg is a common type of leg injury in sports, often leading to compensation claims.

Chest Injury Compensation

Leg injuries are some of the most common personal injury claims we see. Side effects of leg injuries include:

  • Pain.
  • Swelling.
  • Reduced mobility.

Leg injury compensation claims are varied, partly because of the many ways your legs could be injured. Common causes of leg injuries include accidents at work, road accidents, sporting accidents, holiday accidents, and instances of medical negligence.

If you have injured your legs in any way, through the negligence of someone else, then you will be able to make a leg injury claim with help from personal injury lawyers at Jones Whyte. Common leg injuries include knee injuries and soft tissue injuries.

Even if you believe your injury is minor, making a claim can be very important. It helps to ensure lessons are learned and people aren’t injured in the same way in the future. In severe cases, leg injuries can lead to leg amputation, which dramatically alters every aspect of the victim’s life.

Severe leg injury can have a life-changing impact on mobility, possibly requiring prosthetics or a wheelchair. There are various types of leg injury, from minor surface wounds to severe bone and nerve damage.

Our Fee Structure

Success Fee: If your claim is successful, our success fee is charged as a percentage of compensation awarded to you. This fee covers our legal services and includes the cost of After the Event (ATE) insurance to protect you against having to pay the other side’s costs if your claim is unsuccessful.

No Win, No Fee Explained: You will not pay any legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. However, if we secure compensation for you, our success fee will be deducted from your compensation award before payment to you.

When You Might Be Liable for Costs:

  • If you choose to terminate your agreement with us but later succeed with your claim through other means, such as through another firm of solicitors, you may be liable for the cost of the work we have completed on your behalf.
  • In other exceptional circumstances as detailed in our instruction agreement and terms of business, such as if you have misled us or falsely represented part of your claim.

These terms will be fully outlined in your instruction agreement and Terms of Business with us, and are available for you to review before you make any binding commitment. You are under no obligation to these terms by making an initial enquiry.

Making Leg Injury Claims

You usually have three years from the incident to claim leg injury compensation. However, we would encourage you to begin the claims process as quickly as possible. This means witnesses will remember the incident more clearly, making evidence gathering easier. Claiming leg injury compensation as soon as possible is crucial to maximize your potential compensation.

While the details of every leg injury claim are different, the basic process is the same. Understanding how much compensation can be claimed for leg injuries depends on various factors such as the severity of the injury and financial impact.

It starts by giving a statement to one of our specialist lawyers. This can help to establish exactly how you were injured and who was responsible for your leg injury compensation claim.

During the claim, we can help you access specialist medical care, such as physiotherapy, to help aid your recovery. If you have suffered a leg injury, the process of making a claim includes gathering all necessary evidence and adhering to the time limits.

We will also gather any supporting evidence. This can include:

  • Medical reports.
  • Witness statements.
  • Expert testimony.

The type of evidence can vary a lot, depending on the type of claim. If you were injured at work, it may include health and safety policies and inspection records. If you were injured by a fall in the street, it may include maintenance records and inspections.

Most injury claims are settled out of court. If court action is required, we will be able to support you throughout.
