How Long Will No Win No Fee Solicitors Edinburgh Need To Resolve A Personal Injury Claim?
Every accident involving personal injury is unique, as is the compensation claim process that follows the incident. A personal injury claim usually settles in a matter of months, while others are more complex. And these will take longer to resolve. The length of time to resolve a matter will depend on the facts specific to your case. Our expert No Win No Fee Solicitors in Edinburgh have handled many personal injury cases before. And they will be able to give you a good idea of how long your claim is likely to take.
In general, the length of time it takes to resolve your case will depend on how complex the facts are. And it also depends on how complex the disputable issues are. As well as the conduct of the party on the other side. Personal injury claims can become more complex if your injuries are extremely serious. There may be a dispute over the facts, or you may get a ‘hit and run’ accident. Hence, this may make it more difficult to prove legal responsibility. Your personal injury solicitor in Edinburgh will first work at resolving your case outside of court. But sometimes this will not be possible and the matter may run to trial.

When Will My No Win No Fee Solicitors Edinburgh Make My Claim?
Generally, you will need to make your personal injury claim within three years of the date of the personal injury. Else you can claim within three years of the date you discover your injuries- whichever date is later. There are some exceptions to this rule. For example, you may have a longer time period if you claim on behalf of a child or a protected person. If the personal injury was the result of criminal activity such as a hit and run, time limits may. There is also a possibility that you could claim on behalf of a deceased person. But the law around this can become complicated. So it is advisable that you speak to a legal professional before you take these steps. If you have any questions about the time period for making your personal injury claim, contact us.

How Much Compensation Can My No Win No Fee Solicitors Edinburgh Help Me Claim?
Compensation helps you get back to the position you were in before the accident or personal injury. In injury claims generally, compensation sums are calculated with reference to the kind or nature of the injury suffered. And also the type of care that the victim may need going forward to be able to live with their injuries. Your No Win No Fee Solicitor will also include a claim for out-of-pocket expenses that you incur. We call it as special damages.
Your Edinburgh Solicitors will include an amount for general and special damages in your compensation claim. In summary, general damages are compensation for the physical injuries you suffer. While special damages relate to additional expenses you incur or will incur, due to the personal injury. We go through your calculation of general and special damages with you in detail once you sign an agreement with us.
There are general guidelines for the calculation of your claim for general damages. It bases on different levels of harm in personal injury claims. Your No Win No Fee Solicitor in Edinburgh will calculate your general damages by comparing your independent medical report with the sums advised in the official Judicial Board Guidelines for the Assessment of General Damages in Personal Injury Cases. The compensation that you will receive at the conclusion of your personal injury case will influence by details such as how serious your injury is and how long you will take to recover from your injuries.
There are many injuries that can form the basis of personal injury claims. Some of the common injuries that the Claim Justice team deals with include whiplash, head, and brain injuries, loss of limbs, breaks, fractures, and loss of limb.
Head Injuries
Any injury to the head is a serious issue because the brain is also at risk of injury. A person suffering a minor head injury, with no injury to the brain, may deserve compensation up to £6,000. If there is major damage to the head and the brain, the compensation claim can be around £21,500. The most serious cases would be those where the victim becomes completely unresponsive. And if he suffers permanent serious brain damage, which could fetch a compensation of over £215,000. The compensation sum awarded will depend on how serious your head injury is.
Mental or Psychological Injuries
Again, the total compensation for a mental injury will depend on the severity of your mental or psychological injuries. You may suffer psychological harm that is temporary, and your life may return to normal soon. In such a case your compensation claim can be anything between £4,000 and £10,000. Where mental and psychological injuries are more serious or permanent, the compensation claim can reach up to £50,000.
Upper Body Injuries
If you suffer minor injuries to the upper body area, including the neck and shoulders, you may have a compensation claim in the amount of up to £6,000, depending on the nature of your injuries. If you suffer more serious upper-body injuries, for example, dislocation and fractures, you could have a claim of up to £29,000. The biggest compensation pay-out that you can receive will be for serious, permanent injuries such as paraplegia, where the amount of compensation can be anything between £35,000 and £100,000.
Back Injury
Back injuries are risky, painful, and tiring. If you suffer back injury in an accident, there is a high risk of spinal damage. And it is crucial that you get a medical assessment to prevent any further potential damage. A back injury can result in decreased mobility, or even result in paralysis. A claim for minor back injuries can reach up to £9,000. While serious permanent back injuries to nerve root or spinal cord can result in compensation of up to £120,000.
Arms and Hands Injuries
It can be tricky to calculate the potential loss that a person suffers because of a wrist or hand injury. Less serious hand and wrist injuries can give you a personal injury claim of up to £5,500. Whereas a permanent injury or disability can be up to £40,000.
Lower Body Injuries
Injuries to the lower body area include any kind of injury to your ankles, knees, hips, and legs. The amount that you can claim for lower body injuries will vary depending on the nature of your injury. Injury claims for minor lower-body injuries can reach up to £10,000. You may suffer lower-body injuries that lead to permanent disability, loss of limb, or consistent and permanent pain. In such a case your compensation claim could be up to £25,000.
The examples of compensation for various types of injuries above are not in any way fixed. And these are the only rough guidelines for the potential value of personal injury claims available to different accident victims. Your individual injury claim will be assessed on a case by case basis by one of our injury claims experts in a free, confidential consultation once you provide us with all the details.
Special Damages Claimed By No Win No Fee Solicitors in Edinburgh

And it can range from loss of past and future income to costs of counseling and therapy sessions. Also to traveling expenses, supplementary childcare expenses, as well as nursing and costs related to special household adaptations made to adjust to your injuries. Your No Win No Fee Solicitor in Edinburgh will carefully outline which sums will be included in your special damages claim.
It is important to know that special damages can only be claimed if you present some sort of evidence of the expenses incurred or to be incurred.

Our No Win No Fee Solicitors Edinburgh Handle Accident At Work Claims
An accident at work is essentially an unplanned (but often anticipatable) incident that transpires at a workplace because of specific circumstances at the site or premises, because of the way in which a job is being done, or because of how certain equipment is being used. As a result of these circumstances, an incident occurs and someone (usually an employee) is injured. The employee is then entitled to claim compensation from the person legally responsible for their injuries, and an accident at work claims process ensues.
You have a right to feel safe at your place of work. While you go about your daily job, the last thing you would expect is to be involved in an incident at work caused by your employer’s negligence. Whether you work in the construction industry, in an office, or in a supermarket, your employer has a legal duty make sure your place of work is safe and secure. This includes conducting continuous risk assessments and providing sufficient health and safety training to staff members.
Some jobs carry more risk of an incident happening at work, purely because of the nature of the daily tasks that employees are involved in. For this reason, there are specific laws and procedures in place designed to help keep employees safe while they are at their place of work.
Amongst other things, this means that your employer has to ensure the safety of:
- the physical space at your place of work, including maintaining fire exits and escape routes;
- the system and processes at your place of work;
- the plant and equipment at your place of work, including testing any electrical equipment that employees might use at the place of work;
- the working practices, including first aid and emergency plans; and
- the protective equipment at your place of work. This includes ensuring that sufficient and reasonable amounts of protective equipment, first aid supplies, and protective uniforms are available to employees.
Unfortunately, not all employers take safety seriously and many fail to take the necessary measures to protect their employees from accidents at work. This can result in employees suffering from all kinds of injuries at work. Injuries caused by incidents at work can have far-reaching effects, influencing an employee’s ability to work properly, and in serious cases resulting in permanent injury or even fatalities.
Your employer is ultimately responsible for any harm that you may suffer at your place of work as a result of someone else’s negligence, whether the incident was caused by someone’s positive act or their failure to act. Whether your incident was caused by a mistake of another employee or joke played by one of your co-workers, at the end of the day it is your employer that is responsible for your safety at work. You don’t have to worry about a fellow employee having to pay out of their own pocket for an accident at work claim that you make, even if they actually caused the incident. This is because of a principle called vicarious liability, which makes sure that all employers are liable for the actions of their employees.
Your employer won’t suffer financially
If you are worried about the potential financial implications that your accident at work claim may have on your employer, or about the status of your employment relationship once you have made a claim, you need not worry any longer. Your employer has an employer’s liability insurance to cover any accident at work claims made against them. Every employer is legally required to take out these employers’ liability insurance, to ensure that they are able to pay compensation for any accidents at work without it affecting the business financially.
Many of the reported accidents at work claim that Claim Justice deals with involve some sort of manual handling incident. The majority of these cases are a direct result of employers failing to pay the necessary attention to manual handling safety rules and processes. In many cases, lifting and carrying injuries sustained by employees could easily have been prevented.
[title text=”Our No Win No Fee Solicitors In Edinburgh Handle Public Place Accident Claims” color=”rgb(42, 0, 251)”]
Claim Justice is highly experienced in handling personal injury claims which have occurred in a wide range of public places. It includes theme parks, shopping precincts, diners and taverns, parks, schools, cinemas, fêtes, and music halls.
If you have suffered a personal injury when you were in a public place and you believe it was due to negligence of another individual or body, you may be able to claim compensation for your injuries. Councils, shop owners, businesses, and public bodies all have a duty to the public, to take reasonable measures to prevent people from being injured on the premises under their control.
If you suffer an injury on council property
If your injury occurred on a council-owned property, such as a public walkway or a library, then you may be able to make a personal injury compensation claim against the local authority, as long as the incident was due to their negligence. When injuries occur in public spaces, the incident often involves a slip or a trip on an unmaintained road or a pavement, which means that the local council will be responsible for your compensation claim.
When instituting a claim against a council for failing to maintain a road or sidewalk, our persona injury solicitors in Edinburgh will need to prove that the local council was negligent in their duty to the public by failing to keep the pavement safe. This involves proving that, based on the circumstances of the case. It was not reasonable for the local council to let the public space to fall into a state of disrepair that it could result in a person being injured.
