Common Personal Injury Claims in Scotland
Common Personal Injury Claims
In Scotland, many types of personal injury claims arise from everyday situations. Below are some of the most common personal injury claims our team of professionals handle at Thompsons Solicitors:
1. Back Injury Compensation Claims
Back injuries are a common result of workplace accidents, road traffic collisions, or slips and falls. These injuries can lead to long-term pain, reduced mobility, and significant medical expenses. Thompsons Solicitors can help you secure compensation to cover your treatment and any loss of earnings resulting from your back injury.
2. Head Injury Claims
Head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries, can have life-altering consequences. Whether sustained in a road accident or due to employer negligence, Thompsons has extensive experience in securing compensation for those affected by head injuries.
3. Knee Injury Compensation
Knee injuries often occur due to slips, trips, or falls in public places or at work. These injuries can range from minor ligament damage to more severe conditions requiring surgery or long-term rehabilitation. Thompsons Solicitors will work to ensure you receive the compensation needed to cover medical bills and lost wages.
4. Skin Condition Compensation
Exposure to hazardous chemicals in the workplace can lead to serious skin conditions, such as dermatitis. If your employer failed to provide adequate protective equipment, you may be eligible for compensation. We’ve helped many workers secure settlements for conditions related to unsafe working environments.
5. Whiplash Injury Compensation
Whiplash is a common injury in road traffic accidents, caused by the sudden movement of the neck during a collision. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to chronic pain. At Thompsons, we’ve successfully handled thousands of whiplash claims, ensuring our clients receive the compensation they deserve.
Seeking Compensation for Your Injury
If you’ve suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence, it’s important to know that you may be eligible for compensation. Thompsons Solicitors has a proven track record in helping clients secure settlements for all types of common personal injury claims.
Time Limits for Personal Injury Claims
As with all personal injury claims in Scotland, there is typically a three-year time limit for making a claim, starting from the date of the accident. For certain conditions like industrial diseases, the time limit may begin from the date of diagnosis.
