Check Your Eligibility To Make A Compensation Claim

Before you approach a personal injury solicitor and engage them to process your accident claim, you need to be sure that you are eligible to claim compensation. Typically, any time you are caused harm by the actions of a third party, you should be able to make a claim. The third party can be any legal entity, such as:

  • Another person.
  • A hospital.
  • Your employer.
  • Your local council.
  • Your landlord.
  • A restaurant, or retail store.
  • A privately-owned company.

All of these legal entities above could potentially cause you harm in some way. If they do, and they are found to be liable, you could make a claim against them.

This also holds true for accidents that you were partially at fault for. Just because you contributed to the accident in some way, does not mean that the third party involved is let off. They are not, you can still claim compensation from them, although at a reduced percentage driven by how much liability they admit to.

If the question of eligibility and liability in your own claim isn’t clear to you, please call Legal Expert on the number at the bottom of this page. One of our Dumfries personal injury solicitors will go through your claim with you, and let you know a) who we think is liable for the accident, and b) whether you have a valid reason to make a claim.

What Are The Benefits Of Using Solicitors For Dumfries And Galloway Based Claims

When you are ready to begin making your claim, you should start to look for the best solicitor to process your claim for you. There are two very important reasons why finding the best legal team for the task is imperative, and these are:

  1. How proficient your chosen legal firm is at processing your claim, will have a direct correlation with your chance of winning your claim.
  2. A more experienced and skilled solicitor will have a better chance of winning you the maximum level of compensation possible.

Legal Expert can help you. Call us on the number at the end of this page, and one of our team will go over your claim with you, inform you of your options, and help you to get your claim started if you wish. Contact our team to find out if you could work with our solicitors for Dumfries and Galloway based claims.

Do I Need To Use A Local Solicitor Or Lawyer?

Many people wrongly think that they must use a local legal firm to process their accident claim. This is simply not the case. You can use a local firm if you wish, but there is no legal requirement to do so.

With this in mind, you need to ask yourself the questions, is my local solicitor the most suitable for the task? If your local legal firm happens to be a personal injury specialist, you are in luck. But if they are not, then you are probably going to be better off looking further afield.

For example, here at Legal Expert, we focus solely on injury and accident claims. We operate on a national level, and can assist people in Dumfries to make their claim. We can also arrange for you to have a free local medical examination, if one is needed to support your claim. Call us on the number at the bottom of this guide to learn more about how to claim.

How Could A No Win No Fee Solicitor Help Me?

As already discussed, when you are pursuing a claim, you aren’t limited to working with solicitors in Dumfries and Galloway. Solicitors trained in Scottish law could support your personal injury claim. They may offer their services under the Civil Litigation (Expenses and Group Proceedings) (Scotland) Act 2018. This can mean they work on your claim under a Speculative Fee Agreement or Damages Based Agreement. These are types of No Win No Fee agreements.

When working with a No Win No Fee solicitor, they generally don’t charge fees for their services, if your claim fails. If your solicitor succeeds with your claim, they will take a success fee from your compensation. The law caps what percentage they can take as a success fee.

Our advisors are available 24/7 with free advice. They can check your eligibility to claim, and if it seems valid, you could be connected with a solicitor for Dumfries claims.
