About Personal Injury Claims Scotland
Quick Answer
What this site is
Scotland has its own legal system. Personal injury claims here are governed by Scots law, raised in Scottish courts, and funded under Scottish rules. A great deal of what is written online about "no win no fee" describes the system in England and Wales, which works differently. This site exists to explain the Scottish position on its own terms.
We publish guidance on how claims work, what the time limits are, which courts hear personal injury actions, and how no win no fee funding actually operates in Scotland. It is general information, written for people who have been injured and want to understand their position before speaking to anyone.
It is not legal advice. It cannot take account of your circumstances, and the law changes. Before you make a decision about a claim, take advice from a Scottish-qualified solicitor.
Who handles claims
We do not carry out legal work. Enquiries made through this site are passed to:
- Regulated by:
- Law Society of Scotland (reg. no. 31477)
- Registered in Scotland:
- company no. SO307922
- Registered office:
- 70 Wellington Street, Glasgow, G2 6UA
You are under no obligation to instruct them. You can approach any solicitor you like, and you can check that any Scottish solicitor holds a current practising certificate using the Law Society of Scotland's Find a Solicitor register. Our guide on choosing a solicitor sets out what to ask before you sign anything.
We are finalising how our commercial arrangement with the firm is described, and will publish it here in full. If you would like to know before making an enquiry, please ask and we will tell you.
How we work
Scots law, not English law
Everything here describes the law of Scotland. Where a rule is different in England and Wales, we say so rather than blurring the two.
Sources you can check
We cite the legislation and court guidance we rely on, so you can read the original for yourself.
No pressure
We do not chase enquiries, and nothing here is designed to push you into making a claim you do not want to make.
Plain English
Legal language is explained rather than assumed. If a page needs a term like pursuer or outlays, it defines it.
How this content is written
Pages are written from primary Scottish sources — principally the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973, the Civil Litigation (Expenses and Group Proceedings) (Scotland) Act 2018, the Success Fee Agreements (Scotland) Regulations 2020, and guidance published by the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service and the Law Society of Scotland.
Each page shows when it was last reviewed. Where a page states a figure, a cap or a time limit, it says which source that comes from, so you can check it yourself.
If you spot something on this site that is wrong or out of date, please tell us at contact@personal-injury-claims-scotland.co.uk and we will correct it.
