Can I make a personal injury claim in my city?

Yes. If you have been injured in an accident that was not your fault — on the road, at work, or in a public place — you have the right to claim compensation. This right applies across the UK. A specialist can assess your case and advise on the best way forward, often on a no win, no fee basis.

Will my claim be handled on a no win, no fee basis?

Most personal injury claims in our network are handled on a no win, no fee basis. This means you typically pay nothing upfront, and the solicitor's fee is deducted from your compensation only if your claim is successful.

How long do I have to make a personal injury claim?

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to start a claim. For children, the three-year period begins on their 18th birthday. However, it is always better to start sooner while evidence is fresh.

What types of personal injury cases do you handle?

Our specialist network covers road traffic accidents, workplace injuries, slips and falls, medical negligence, and public liability claims. If you are unsure, submit an enquiry and we will point you in the right direction.

How much compensation could I receive?

Compensation depends on the severity of your injury, recovery time, financial losses, and impact on your life. A specialist will review your specific circumstances and give you a realistic estimate during your initial consultation.

Do I need to pay anything upfront?

No. The initial review is free. If a specialist takes on your case, it is typically on a no win, no fee basis with no upfront costs.

Personal Injury in Glasgow

Been injured in Glasgow?

Glasgow is home to Scotland's busiest motorway — the M8, which passes through the heart of the city and is crossed by the Kingston Bridge, one of the most heavily used river bridges in Europe. Non-fault accidents are a daily occurrence on Glasgow's road network.

Scottish law recognises the same right to recover compensation for personal injury as English law — but the court system is different. Claims in Glasgow are heard at Glasgow Sheriff Court (for smaller amounts) or the Court of Session (larger claims). A specialist with Scots law experience can guide you through the correct process.

Glasgow's construction sector — driven by city centre regeneration, residential development in the east end, and major infrastructure projects — generates significant workplace injury claims. The city's dense retail environment around Buchanan Street and Argyle Street also creates frequent slip, trip, and fall incidents.

Local Accident Context

The M8 through Glasgow city centre, the M74 south, the M77 to Kilmarnock, and the A82 Great Western Road are the main accident corridors. Kingston Bridge, the Clyde Tunnel, and the M8/M74 Tradeston interchange are regular non-fault accident sites. Glasgow's city centre grid and the A8 approaches from Lanarkshire also generate consistent accident volumes.

Medical & Rehabilitation

Glasgow has major trauma centres at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and Glasgow Royal Infirmary. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde provides rehabilitation services across the region. Private physiotherapy is available in the West End, city centre, and Shawlands.

Legal framework

Scottish law applies. Scots law recognises claims for personal injury damages in the same way that English law does. The limitation period is typically 3 years from the accident date. Claims in Glasgow are heard at Glasgow Sheriff Court (for smaller claims) or the Court of Session (for larger claims). A specialist with Scots law experience is essential for navigating the Scottish court system.
