SAPC's role in reducing no win, no fee claims in Scotland

In Scotland, no win, no fee arrangements are the most popular form of litigation for people who have sustained injury in accidents that were not their fault.

Consequently, any one taking such no win, no fee action in Scotland may be interested to hear about the organisations that work hard to prevent accidents from occurring.

One such organisation is the Scottish Accident Prevention Council (SAPC). The SAPC was founded in 1931 and describes its remit as “to promote greater awareness of the consequences of accidents in all aspects of everyday life and promote measures to reduce injury and fatality.”

It does not work alone, but instead relies on borrowing from the expertise and experiences of a variety of organizations such as local councils, health boards and emergency services, as well as broad spectrum of other interested parties.

Naturally, as its sanction closely mirrors that of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), SAPC also works closely with RoSPA. This alliance is so close that the two organisations even share a number of administrative staff.

SAPC strive to keep up to date with the new challenges presented it by developments in technology, the evolving home and workplace scenes, the political environment and the yearly Scottish accident figures.

It seeks do this through its annual conferences, its newsletters, as well as publicity drives, training schemes and press releases.

Membership of the organisation is open to most interested parties. It currently has local authorities, health boards, corporations, as well as a variety of other safety-related groups included in its membership.
