Were you injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault? We work with Scottish solicitors based in Perth and we are here to help you to claim compensation.

Sometimes called ‘Gateway to the Highlands’, Perth in Scotland is known for its food and drink sector and historically for its whisky and salmon fishing. Its economy is diverse with development in the renewable sector as well as in financial services.

Accident at Work Claims

Whether you’re working in a restaurant or on a construction site, if you’ve been injured through no fault of yours, you may be eligible to start a personal injury claim for compensation.

Perth is ranked among the top ten economies in Scotland. While the council remains the largest employer, the public transport company Stagecoach Group is also headquartered here.

Scottish employers are legally required to protect the health and safety of their staff. However, accidents can and do happen. So, if you’ve been injured at work due to employer negligence or unsafe working conditions resulting in injury or harm, you ay want to find out more about making a claim.

Clinical Negligence Claims  

Perth has a number of hospitals including NHS Tayside and medical centres serving local communities. Unfortunately, in any medical settings, mistakes can happen whether in hospital, at the local GP or dentist.

If the standard of care is below an acceptable standard, a case of clinical negligence can end in harm or injury for a patient. Examples of this include injury at birth, or a delayed or misdiagnosis of a serious heart condition.

However, there are other types of clinical negligence which may occur outside of a hospital or dental setting, such as dental negligence. Therefore, if you were injured due to medical negligence, you are likely to be entitled to compensation.

Road Traffic Accidents  

If you have been injured in a traffic collision which was someone else’s fault, you may want to seek compensation. Whether you were the driver, on a motorbike, a pedestrian or passenger, if you were injured through no fault of your own, you could make a claim.

Accidents in a Public Place  

If you have been injured in a public place, you could be owed compensation. Perth is a popular tourist destination and also hosts the Scottish Yarn Festival, which is Scotland’s largest yarn and fibre festival.

It also has a number of festivals, theatres and one of the oldest museums in Scotland – the Perth Art Gallery, as well as the Fergusson Gallery. It also has many pubs and restaurants.

If you have suffered an injury while at an event or at a public place, such as a trip or fall, 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?   

As each case is unique, 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.

However, compensation is also calculated on any financial loss caused by the accident. This may include medical costs, lost wages or travel expenses. This falls under the category of Special Damages.

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