Mountains range from Oban to Aberdeen; injury claims may do the same

Some of Scotland's strongest claims to beauty, its mountains, can also be sources of accidents and personal injury. This means that, whether you are exploring the Trossachs near Perth or the Cairngorms near Aberdeen, injury claims may interrupt your climb.

Most visits to Scottish mountains do go to plan, without doubt. But for those few that do not, accidents and injuries may lead to unexpected and ongoing costs, and a compensation claim may be the appropriate method of proceeding should this occur.

Reported accidents on Scottish mountains have included falls that were partly blamed on faulty equipment, which could make the manufacturer open to a product liability claim. Others may arise if a package holiday goes wrong, at which point a holiday injury claim could be made - these are not purely restricted to beach resorts in semi-tropical climates.

But, in fact, car accidents on the roads around mountains and their foothills are more likely to afflict a mountaineer than a serious climbing accident.

Some reports have been made that suggest that the steep nature of roads near mountains makes road traffic accidents more likely; others go further, suggesting that these difficult gradients can cause traffic to slow - particularly behind a heavy or under-powered vehicle - which contributes to driver frustration and thus indirectly to another reason why car crashes may be more likely.
