If you suffer an injury in an accident that is not your fault, you can pursue a Glasgow compensation claim without paying upfront legal fees. We provide independent, experienced legal support throughout the city on a no-win-no-fee basis. The types of claims we handle range from road collisions to clinical negligence before the Glasgow Sheriff Court and the specialised All-Scotland Sheriff Personal Injury Court (ASPIC).
A road traffic accident or injury at work can affect all areas of your life, from your health and your income to your daily routine. Transport Scotland’s Reported Road Casualties Scotland 2023 shows that around 5,788 people were killed or injured on Scottish roads in 2023, with Glasgow City among the local authorities with the highest number of casualties. The physical and financial consequences are considerable and often long-lasting.
How Our Team of Glasgow Solicitors Fund Your Claim (No Win, No Fee)
In Scotland, a no win no fee lawyer operates under what is formally known as a Speculative Fee Agreement. This means you pay nothing at the outset, and legal fees are only ever deducted as a capped percentage from a successful settlement, never from your pocket in advance.
If your claim succeeds, a success fee is deducted from your final settlement. Statutory rules strictly cap this fee at a maximum of 20% (inclusive of VAT) for personal injury matters valued up to ÂŁ100,000.
Fee Calculation Example (ÂŁ10,000 Award):
- Total Damages Recovered: ÂŁ10,000
- Maximum Capped Success Fee (20% incl. VAT): ÂŁ2,000
- Net Compensation Paid to You: Net compensation paid to you will be your damages minus the success fee (capped as above) and any agreed deductions, such as an After the Event (ATE) insurance premium or other disbursements, all of which are set out in writing before we act.
If the case does not succeed, you pay zero solicitor fees. Every funding term is fully detailed in writing before any legal work commences.
| Funding Scenario | What You Pay |
|---|---|
| Claim succeeds | Agreed success fee deducted from compensation |
| The claim is unsuccessful | No solicitor fees payable |
| Case not accepted | No charge whatsoever |
Financial Protection: Zero Risk if Your Claim is Unsuccessful (QOCS)
QOCS protects you from having to pay the other side’s legal expenses if your claim fails. It does not affect your own solicitor’s fees, which under our no win no fee agreement are zero if your claim is unsuccessful.
This protection applies automatically under Scots law, though a court may revoke it under limited exceptions set out in Section 8 of the 2018 Act:
- Fraud or Dishonesty: The pursuer or their legal representative acts fraudulently or dishonestly.
- Manifestly Unreasonable Conduct: The pursuer displays unreasonable conduct during proceedings (e.g., concealing prior medical history or refusing reasonable court directions).
- Abuse of Process: The legal action is deemed an abuse of court process.
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.

Starting Your Claim with Our Glasgow Team
When you work with us, the process begins with a free, no-obligation case assessment. You provide the basic details of your accident. With a no win no fee solicitor in Glasgow, claimants can speak to locals without delay.
- Initial consultation: We review the circumstances and confirm whether your case has sufficient merit to proceed.
- Evidence gathering: Medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and photographic evidence are collected on your behalf.
- Settlement negotiation: The appointed solicitor presents the claim to the responsible party’s insurer and negotiates a fair outcome.
We will keep you informed at every stage of your claim, and you are under no obligation to proceed beyond the initial assessment.
Do You Have a Claim? The 3-Year Time Limit (Triennium)
Under the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973, personal injury actions in Scotland must be formally raised in court within three years (the triennium), running from the date of the incident. Key exceptions include:
- Date of Knowledge: For industrial diseases (e.g., asbestos exposure or occupational asthma), the 3-year clock starts when you first recognised the condition was work-related.
- Children: In most cases, a person under 16 has until their 19th birthday to raise proceedings; specific rules apply where a litigation guardian acts on a child’s behalf.
- Incapacity: The statutory limitation period pauses during periods where an individual lacks legal capacity.
Note: Formal court proceedings require papers to be served prior to the deadline, making early legal instruction vital.

FAQs
How much compensation could I receive for my Glasgow injury claim?
Compensation is divided into Solatium (pain and suffering) and Patrimonial Loss (financial impact, wage loss, and rehabilitation costs). Valuations are calculated using Judicial College Guidelines and recent Scottish court precedents.
Will I have to go to court in Glasgow?
Most personal injury actions settle out of court through direct insurer negotiations. If an insurer disputes liability, your solicitor raises formal proceedings at the local Glasgow Sheriff Court or ASPIC and guides you through every step.
Can I transfer my claim to a Glasgow-based solicitor mid-case?
Yes. You have the legal right to transfer your mandate to a new Scottish solicitor at any stage. Your new solicitor handles the file transfer directly from your previous firm without delaying your statutory timelines.
Can I claim for a hit-and-run or uninsured driver accident in Glasgow?
Yes. Claims involving untraced or uninsured drivers are pursued through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) scheme. Incident reporting to Police Scotland is mandatory, as a valid police reference number must accompany your MIB application.
