If you were injured because of someone else's negligence, a personal injury claim could recover the money you deserve. We act for people throughout Scotland who have been injured at work, in road traffic accidents or through public place hazards. We only ever act for the injured person, never the other side.
Below are the personal injury claims we deal with most often at Thompsons Solicitors.

Common personal injury claims
1. Back Injury Compensation Claims
Back injuries are common after workplace accidents, road traffic collisions, slips and trips, and can result in chronic pain, ongoing injury, and significant financial expense. Thompsons Solicitors can help you obtain compensation to offset the cost of treatment and lost earnings resulting from your back injury.
2. Head Injury Claims
Head injuries, from concussions and traumatic brain injuries to the lesser blows in between, can upend life in an instant. Whatever caused your head injury, whether a road accident or employer negligence, Thompsons can help you seek compensation.
3. Knee Injury Compensation
Knee injuries happen often when someone slips, trips, or falls at work or in public. The effects can range from discomfort and ligament damage to conditions that require surgery or months of rehabilitation. Thompsons Solicitors will fight for the compensation you deserve, to cover the cost of treatment and the days missed at work.
4. Skin Condition Compensation
Workplace chemicals can cause severe skin conditions such as dermatitis. If you were not provided with the correct protective clothing by your employer, you may be entitled to compensation. We have successfully negotiated a large number of settlements against unsafe working practices.
5. Whiplash Injury Compensation
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries in road traffic accidents, caused by the sudden jolt to the neck during a collision. Symptoms range from slight stiffness to chronic pain. At Thompsons we have dealt with thousands of whiplash claims and fought to secure the compensation owed to our clients.
Seeking Compensation for Your Injury
If your injuries were caused by another person's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation and you should not have to fight for it on your own. Thompsons Solicitors has a proven record of success in recovering compensation for our clients in all types of personal injury claims.
Time Limits for Personal Injury Claims
In Scotland, the time limit for a personal injury claim is three years from the date of the accident. For industrial diseases, however, the period may run from the date of diagnosis rather than exposure.

"Clients often choose this option because it means that we as a firm, take the risk so that they don't have to. But I think importantly, what it does is it ensures access to justice because it's accessible to anybody who's been involved in an accident, regardless of whether you have the means to fund it."
