Do I Have A Legitimate Personal Injury Claim?

Before you begin looking for personal injury solicitors for Ayr to process your claim, you need to be sure that you are actually eligible to make one. If you have come to harm through an event that was at least partially caused by a third party, you should have a valid reason to make a claim. The harm can be a physical injury, an illness, or psychological damage such as shock, stress or post-traumatic stress disorder.

If you are partially to blame for the event that caused you harm, you should still be able to claim. However, the defendant would then plead a lowered percentage of liability. For example, if you fell down a manhole from which the cover had been removed while checking Facebook on your phone then you would be partially to blame.

This is because you were not fully concentrating as you were using your phone. you should have been paying attention to your surroundings. However, the manhole cover should never have been left off without a safety barrier being put in place. In this case, the defendant might claim to be 80% liable, as your own actions partially contributed to the accident happening. Therefore you would only receive 80% of a full payout.

If you are still confused over the issue of liability in your own case, then give Legal Expert a call on the number at the end of this guide, and we can let you know who we think was liable for your accident.

How Do I Get The Best Personal Injury Solicitors For Ayr?

When choosing personal injury solicitors, Scotland residents should keep in mind the fact that how proficient their legal team is at processing their claim, will have an effect on the outcome of the claim. The more proficient your solicitor, the higher the chance of you winning your claim, and the higher the compensation settlement could be. Ask any solicitor you are considering the three questions below:

  • Have you handled a case similar to mine in the last year?
  • Can you arrange for me to have a local medical examination to support my claim?

Every solicitor in Scotland must register with the Law Society of Scotland. However, registration is not a measure of proficiency, simply that the legal firm could meet all the registration requirements.

A further consideration is what type of law the legal firm specialises in. Some specialise in only specific parts of the law, such as contract law or intellectual property law for example. Others are happy to take on any legal work, from certifying documents to criminal cases. And some, like us here at Legal Expert, are 100% focused on helping accident victims get the compensation that they are eligible to receive. Call us on the number at the end of this page to learn how we can help.

Road Traffic Accident Claims

It’s not just drivers who can make a claim if they have been injured in an accident on the road that wasn’t their fault. Passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists can also be eligible to receive compensation.

All road users have a duty of care to keep one another safe. This is achieved by following the rules laid out in the Highway Code. If these rules are not followed and an injury to another road user is caused, this could be a breach of their duty of care. This is when personal injury claims regarding road traffic accidents can arise.

Sometimes, there is only one vehicle involved in an accident. This does not necessarily mean it is the fault of the driver. Local councils must maintain the safety of their roads. If potholes or other damage takes place to the surface of the road that is not repaired, then this could cause the driver to lose control of their vehicle and sustain an injury. In cases such as these, the claim could be made against the council responsible for the area.
