Fife in Scotland is famous for its universities and golf courses, with St Andrews being one of the oldest universities in the world, and it is one of the ancient provinces of Scotland. Often referred to as the Kingdom of Fife, today Fife’s primary industries are manufacturing, energy, financial and business services.

Accident at Work Claims

Whether you work in an office or onsite, we can guide you through the claims process  and gain compensation if you were not at fault.

Key sectors in Fife include a growing offshore energy and renewables industry, engineering, financial services and a vibrant food and drink industry. While employers are legally required to keep their staff safe, accidents can and do happen. If your employer has failed to follow health and safety regulations and this has resulted in you suffering an injury, you could be entitled to compensation.

Clinical Negligence Claims  

Medical services in Fife cover several large centres as well as rural communities. As in any medical setting, errors may occur in a hospital, GP or dentist. A breach in the standard of care which results in harm to the patient can result in clinical negligence incidents. Examples of this include injury at birth, delayed cancer diagnosis or a surgical accident.

However, there are other types of clinical negligence which may occur outside of a hospital or dental setting, such as cosmetic surgery. Therefore, if you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, you are most likely entitled to compensation.

Road Traffic Accidents  

If you have been injured in a road traffic accident, you could be entitled to compensation. Whether you were the driver, on a motorbike, a pedestrian or passenger, as long as the accident was not your fault you could make a claim.

Accidents in a Public Place  

If you have been injured in a public place, you could be owed compensation. Fife is renowned for it’s rich history and scenic coastline. It has many sites of importance including castles, abbeys and palaces. It also has theatre venues, as well as hosting a variety of festivals including arts, music and food.

If you have suffered an injury while at an event or at a public place, you could be eligible to claim compensation. If the accident was not your fault, your claim is most likely viable.

For more information about different types of public place claims, visit our accidents in a public place page.

How much compensation can I get?   

Every accident and injury has specific circumstances and therefore compensation is decided on a case-by-case basis. The severity of your injuries is the most important factor in determining how much compensation you will be owed. This falls under General Damages.

However, compensation is also calculated on any financial loss caused by the accident, such as medical expenses, lost earnings or travel expenses. This falls under the category of Special Damages.

Your solicitor will be able to provide an estimate regarding your claim.
