We are registered to provide civil and criminal legal aid.
There are important legal differences between Scotland and the rest of the UK (England and Wales), especially where personal injury claims and, in particular, ‘no win, no fee’ claims are concerned.
The law in each jurisdiction is different and there are also slightly different rules applied to the way compensation is calculated.
So it’s important you instruct a Scottish personal injury solicitor, who will give you the best advice for your particular case, not an English claims management company.
Accident Claims Lawyers Edinburgh - No Win, No Fee
In some instances, we'll take your case on a 'no win, no fee' basis. This means you keep 100% of the compensation as we will reclaim our costs from the party who caused your injury. On the other hand, if you lose, you don't pay us a penny.
The benefits of no win, no fee are:
- You have no up-front layout. If your case doesn't succeed, you don't pay us for any of our work or pay any of our costs.
- We'll give you a free consultation regarding your prospects of success. If we don't think your case will be successful, we'll tell you at the earliest opportunity.
- You don't have to worry that your legal fees will spiral out of control.
- You will receive 100% of the compensation. We will reclaim our costs from the party responsible for your injury – after all, they put you in this position: it's only right they pay your legal fees!
- You may not even have to go to court – most cases are resolved by way of an 'out of court settlement'.
