Your questions answered

For the vast majority of people in Scotland who have suffered personal injury in an accident that was no fault of their own, the need to find a personal injury solicitor becomes a very pressing one.

Many Scottish people can find this a distressing experience. YouClaim decided to carry out a survey of two hundred anonymous Scottish citizens to find out what their biggest concerns and fears would be in the event they were to seek the services of a personal injury solicitor.

Here is a list of the major concerns people who participated in the survey raised about the prospect of finding a suitable Scottish personal injury solicitor. Each concern is partnered with a response from us detailing how we believe we address these concerns.

"How do I know I'm dealing with an accredited personal injury solicitor?"
All solicitors on our panel firms are governed by, and meet the high standards of, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).

As part of their commitment to the SRA all personal injury solicitors on our panel adhere to the Solicitors Code of Conduct.

"I want a personal injury solicitor who I know has a history of winning claims"
The personal injury solicitors on our panel have, between them, decades of experience in dealing with compensation claims.

Each is a specialist in his or her area, whether it is work accidents, holiday accidents, car accidents, medical negligence or dog bite law.

"I want a personal injury solicitor who is local to me"
On our panel we have personal injury solicitors from all over Scotland, so chances are that we will be able to find you someone to handle your case who is a specialist within the field of your compensation claim and within a reasonable commute of your home address.

"Will the personal injury solicitor take a big cut from my compensation award?"
The simple answer is that many do but we don't. Our panel of personal injury solicitors will ensure that you get to keep 100% of any compensation awarded you. We never take a cut.

"I'm afraid of hidden costs and fees"
Perhaps no win, no fee doesn't adequately explain our service. A more appropriate description would be, win or lose, no fee'.

There are no hidden costs or fees when you make a no win, no fee claim with YouClaim. The personal injury solicitor will recover all costs from the opposing side's insurers.

There are no hidden costs or fees.

"No win, no fee, sure. But what if I lose?"
If your compensation claim is unsuccessful, you will not have to pay anyone else anything either. This is because the opposing side can recover all legal costs from an insurance policy which covers you against the cost of all their defending personal injury solicitor's legal fees.
