Compensation Claim Costs Scotland

If you have been involved in a car accident and suffered a whiplash, head injury or other injury, in addition to wondering how long it might take you to recover, you may also be concerned about how much it might cost you to make a compensation claim. Can you really pursue a claim without incurring any costs?

The process in Scotland

To assess whether this is possible you need to understand the basics of the Legal System (no long essay for you to read, just a brief outline). In Scotland the law states that if someone injures you due to their negligence, you are entitled to compensation and to ALSO recover your legal costs. It is this law that means that the cost of your claim will be paid by the other driver's insurance company in ADDITION TO your compensation claim.

What if you lose your claim?

If you lose your compensation claim, you will be protected by an insurance policy that your solicitor will arrange for you. This will be a conditional fee agreement insurance policy, which is the document you will be offered at the beginning of your claim which enables you to make a 'No Win No Fee' claim.

Therefore, the two options for you are:

• Win Your Claim:- your solicitor will claim your costs from the other side's insurance company; or
• Lose Your Claim:- you will not have to pay anything as you will be protected by an insurance policy under a conditional fee agreement.

You really can make a claim for compensation and be fully protected from the prospects of having to pay a substantial amount of money if you win or lose your claim.

Do Loyalty Law charge you?

Finally, you might be thinking there is a catch, do Loyalty Law make a charge for their service?

No. The cost of our service to you is completely free of charge. Our solicitor members see us as a marketing tool to help them find excellent new clients just like you. Therefore, they pay a membership fee to be a part of Loyalty Law. However, that membership fee is not passed onto you in any way, shape or form and it does not deteriorate from the level of customer service that we expect. If a solicitor does not constantly meet the high levels of customer service they will be removed from the Loyalty Law membership.

For more information see our No Win No Fee Claims section.

Why Choose Loyalty Law For Your Cycling Accident Claim?

All Loyalty Law solicitors are checked and vetted to ensure that they meet our criteria in the following ways:-

• Before they can start working for you, they are interviewed by our managing director, a solicitor himself (although no longer practising).

• At the end of every accident claim, we carry out an interview with each client to ensure that they have been completely satisfied with the service provided. This ensures that not only does the solicitor start off by providing an excellent service, but through continual feedback they continue to achieve the right levels of service for you. It means that people like you are constantly monitoring and providing feedback on the service and is one of the reasons why we believe that you should ask Loyalty Law to help you find the right solicitor.
