About Personal Injury in Edinburgh

Personal injury claims in Edinburgh

Edinburgh's personal injury landscape is shaped by its status as Scotland's capital, its position on the A720 city bypass, and its large public sector and tourism employment base. The A720 and M8 generate regular road traffic claims, while the public sector creates workplace injury claims.

Edinburgh's road network includes the A720 city bypass, M8, and A1. The city's large public sector — including the Scottish Government, the NHS, and the University of Edinburgh — generates workplace injury claims. The city's large tourist economy creates specific public liability risks in historic buildings and visitor attractions. Scottish law applies to all personal injury claims in Edinburgh.

Frequently asked questions — Edinburgh

Can I claim for a road accident on the A720 near Edinburgh?

Yes. Scottish law recognises the same right to claim for road traffic accidents as English law. If another driver's negligence caused the accident, you can claim against their insurance. Claims in Edinburgh are heard at Edinburgh Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.

Can I claim for a slip at an Edinburgh tourist attraction?

Yes. Under the Occupiers' Liability (Scotland) Act 1960, occupiers owe a duty of care to visitors. If the attraction failed to take reasonable steps to keep the premises safe and you were injured, you can claim against the occupier's public liability insurance.
