If you were hurt at work in Glasgow in the last three years and your employer's negligence caused it, you may have a claim for compensation, normally paid by your employer's insurer. Tell us what happened and we will reply by email within 24 hours during office hours, 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday, closed on Scottish public holidays.
Check whether you have a claim
We assess your enquiry free of charge and, with your consent, refer good claims to a specialist personal injury firm, which decides whether to take your case on. We receive a referral payment from that firm, paid out of the fee it earns; under our agreement it must not increase the success fee you are charged.
Most injury claims in Scotland must be raised in court within three years, and sending an enquiry does not stop that clock. If your accident was more than two and a half years ago, say so in the form and we will treat it as urgent, but you should also consider contacting a personal injury firm directly.
Who you are dealing with
Injury Compensation Scotland is run by Rooney Family Law Limited, a Scottish law firm regulated by the Law Society of Scotland. We assess your enquiry free and, with your consent, refer good claims to a specialist personal injury firm, which decides whether to take your case on. We receive a referral payment from that firm, paid out of the fee it earns; under our agreement it must not increase the success fee you are charged.
What you get
A solicitor, or a paralegal working under a solicitor's supervision, reads your enquiry, asks what happened, what injury you have and what it has cost you, and tells you plainly whether we think a specialist firm is likely to take it on. If so, we tell you which firm and, with your agreement, refer your enquiry. That firm decides whether to accept your case, normally on a no win no fee basis: no success fee is payable if the claim fails, and if it succeeds the success fee, including VAT, is capped by law at 20 per cent of the first £100,000 of your compensation. The firm's written agreement explains any insurance premium and the limited circumstances in which other costs could arise.
Three things Glasgow workers ask us
Can I be sacked for claiming?
You should not be penalised for making a genuine claim, and dismissing someone for raising a genuine health and safety concern is automatically unfair. Bringing a claim does not by itself make every dismissal unlawful, and the position differs with under two years' service, so tell us if you have been threatened or disciplined. In practice employers rarely react badly, because the claim is handled by their insurer.
I am agency or zero-hours. Does that matter?
No. The duty to keep you safe is owed to everyone working under the employer's control.
How long do I have?
Normally three years from the accident to start a court action, and enquiring does not stop the clock. If yours was more than two and a half years ago, enquire today and tell us the date.
