It is worth remembering that the vast majority of Scottish personal injury claim cases are concluded outside of the court system. However, there are two possible places that such a claim, whether no win, no fee or otherwise, may be heard, these are the Sheriff Court and the Court of Session.
Which of these two courts may be used for a personal injury claim will depend on a number of factors. These factors include the expected value of the claim and the type of injury sustained as a result of the incident.
In fact, in most cases of accident injury litigation, the pursuer and his or her compensation solicitor will be able to choose which court the claim will be heard in, although this choice will be restricted in some cases by prescribed jurisdiction limits.
In the event that the claim goes to the Sheriff court, it may be heard under one of three types of procedure. These are known as small claims, summary cause and ordinary cause procedure. In the event the claim goes to the Court of Session, it may be heard under either optional or ordinary procedures. These are finer points of legal process that, should you proceed with a claim, can be explained to you by your no win, no fee lawyer.
Above all, when claiming compensation for an accident in Scotland, it is essential that the would-be pursuer has good legal advice from the point of first inquiry all the way through to the point at which he or she is engaged with a solicitor and looking to achieve settlement from an insurer.
