Car accidents in Dumfries and Galloway
Dumfries suffers from its share of road traffic accidents like all Scottish towns, but most cause relatively minor soft tissue injuries such as whiplash or bruising. However, the rural roads around Dumfries are a different matter. They can be particularly dangerous when driven at speed or in poor weather, and accidents on these roads often result in serious, life-threatening injuries. And some prove fatal.
Our team of experts have years experience representing clients who have been injured in road traffic accidents. Whether you were the driver, passenger or pedestrian, we can assist you in claiming compensation.

Frequently asked questions
It varies according to the circumstances. A simple claim such as a relatively minor whiplash after a road traffic accident, may be concluded in a few months. More serious injuries, or claims where the other side refuses to accept responsibility, tend to take longer, sometimes a year or more. After considering the facts surrounding the incident, your solicitor can advise a more accurate estimate.
There is no legal obligation to instruct a solicitor, but it is definitely worth doing. Scotland's personal injury law has its own rules and court procedures, and a knowledgeable solicitor will know how to properly value your claim and deal with the negotiations with the other side's insurers. There is no charge to you if you instruct us under our no win no fee arrangement.
Try to collect everything you can after the accident as quickly as possible. This includes photographs of the accident scene and of any injuries you have sustained, details of anyone who witnessed the accident, and copies of any accident report that your employer or the police have made. Your solicitor will then assist you in collating relevant medical evidence and other records to progress your claim.
