How No Win No Fee Funding Works for Dundee Injury Claims
In Scotland, “No Win No Fee” usually means a speculative fee arrangement. You do not pay solicitor fees at the start, and if the claim succeeds, the solicitor is usually paid a fee plus an agreed success fee.
You pay no upfront legal costs, and you face no financial penalty if the claim is unsuccessful. Expenses such as medical reports and court fees are advanced by the solicitor while the case proceeds. These no‑win‑no‑fee rules in Scotland are set by statute and Law Society of Scotland guidance.
Success Fees and Expense Safeguards Explained
Scottish law caps the success fee at 20% of damages up to £100,000 in personal injury claims. The fee is deducted only from compensation actually recovered, so your net compensation payout is clear from the start. The Civil Litigation (Expenses and Group Proceedings) (Scotland) Act 2018 and the Success Fee Agreements (Scotland) Regulations 2020 govern this arrangement, and the fee structure is transparent, with no hidden charges.
| Stage | What You Pay | Who Meets the Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Initial consultation | Nothing | Free of charge |
| Medical reports and court fees | Nothing during the case | Advanced by your solicitor |
| Successful claim | Capped success fee | Deducted from compensation |
| Unsuccessful claim | No solicitor fees | After-the-event insurance may cover certain expenses. |

Am I Eligible to Make a Personal Injury Claim in Dundee?
A valid claim requires a duty of care owed to you, a breach of that duty, and physical or psychological harm caused by that breach. The solicitors we work with know how to review medical records, witness accounts and incident reports to establish causation and complete a liability assessment. Proof of negligence depends on evidence, so retain photographs, receipts and any accident report.
Under the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973, most claims must be raised within three years of the accident, known as the triennial limitation period. Different rules apply where a child is injured or a condition develops gradually.
If you have an injury in Dundee or anywhere in Tayside, we can handle your legal strategy throughout the process. Your first consultation is free and carries no obligation. We will confirm all funding terms with you in writing before you commit.

Zero Upfront Costs and Managing Case Outlays
Building a personal injury case involves third-party expenses known as outlays (e.g., NHS medical records, independent medical expert reports, and court fees). This thing is handled while your claim is ongoing. To eliminate risk, After the Event (ATE) legal expenses insurance ensures that if your case fails, all outlay exposure is completely covered.

What to Expect During the Dundee Claims Process
A claim generally follows four stages:
- Initial consultation: a free phone call to review what happened.
- Evidence gathering: medical records, witness statements and incident reports.
- Medical examination: an independent report from an accredited expert, often a hospital.
- Negotiation and settlement: liability discussions with the insurer, ending in a settlement.
Timescales vary with the severity of the injury and how quickly liability is admitted. Straightforward claims may conclude within months, while complex cases take longer. Call today to begin stage one.
Will My Claim Go to Dundee Sheriff Court?
Court attendance is not mandatory in most cases, because the vast majority of claims settle out of court through negotiation. If proceedings become necessary, your solicitor manages all filings and representation.
Whether a case is raised in Dundee Sheriff Court, the All‑Scotland Sheriff Personal Injury Court (ASPIC) or the Court of Session depends on the type and value of the claim and procedural rules.
Dundee Sheriff Court on West Bell Street hears personal injury actions raised locally. If the insurer refuses a fair payment, the litigation process begins, with your legal team acting throughout.

FAQs
Can I claim against my employer if I am still employed by them?
Yes. You can bring a personal injury claim against your employer even if you remain employed. Employees have statutory protections against detriment or dismissal for bringing a genuine claim, and most employers must hold employer’s liability insurance under the Employers’ Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969, so claims are normally met by the insurer.
What happens if my accident occurred partly through my own fault?
Partial fault does not automatically bar a claim. Under the Law Reform (Contributory Negligence) Act 1945, compensation is reduced in proportion to your responsibility. A split liability agreement might, for example, reduce an award by a stated percentage. No outcome is guaranteed, so request a professional case evaluation.
Do your solicitors offer local home or hospital visits in Dundee?
Home and hospital visits are provided across Dundee and Tayside. If injuries prevent travel, the solicitors we work with can meet you at home, at Ninewells Hospital or at a care centre. Family members may request a free visit on your behalf.
