Personal Injury Claims

Personal Injury Solicitors in Edinburgh

Our personal injury lawyers in Edinburgh work hard to help clients who have been injured due to someone else’s negligence. We aim to make the process of claiming compensation as easy as possible.

We handle the legal process so you can focus on your recovery, gathering evidence, organising records, and liaising with all parties on your behalf. You do not need to contact witnesses or take details for statements yourself. Under Scots law, a claim must be settled, or a court action raised and served, within three years of the date of the accident, so it is worth contacting our Edinburgh office as soon as possible.

Our Edinburgh personal injury lawyers have extensive expertise in handling a variety of cases.

Here is how we can assist you:

• Road accidents: claims involving cars, motorcycles, cyclists and pedestrians
• Public liability claims: Including injuries caused by pavement defects, dog bites or accidents in shopping centres
• Workplace accidents: From ladder and forklift accidents to injuries caused by defective or farming equipment.
• Industrial disease claims: Illnesses associated with unsafe working conditions, such as asbestos exposure

We work on a no-win, no-fee basis, meaning you won’t have to pay if your claim is unsuccessful. Many people are unsure whether what happened to them counts as a valid claim, but the numbers suggest more do than realise it. Edinburgh City Council alone handled 2,109 public liability claims and paid out £146,385 in injury compensation over 25 months between January 2024 and March 2026. If you were injured in a public place and aren’t sure where you stand, our team can assess your situation and give you a clear answer.
