If you have been injured in a road, workplace or public-place accident in Edinburgh, keep photographs, medical records, witness details and reports of the incident. In Scotland, personal injury claims are often subject to a three-year time limit, although exceptions can apply depending on the circumstances, age and capacity of the injured person. A solicitor can assess whether someone else may be legally responsible, explain potential funding arrangements and deal with insurers or other parties. Consider speaking to a solicitor regulated by the Law Society of Scotland, particularly before accepting an offer or signing documents.
