Can expert solicitors help with serious car accident claims?

In 2019, 168 people were killed on Scotland's roads and 2,001 people were seriously injured.

Car accidents cause some of the most catastrophic and life-changing injuries we see and we regularly assist car accident victims and their families as they recover and rehabilitate following an RTA.

For many of these people, their lives will be altered irreparably and when the accident has been caused by the negligence of a third party, it can be one of the hardest things to bear. At Thompsons, we have decades of experience in representing claimants who have been seriously injured in car accidents and we strongly believe our compensation claim service is the best in Scotland.

"It's not about where the accident occurred, or the accident type. It's about the severity of the injury itself and that's where we specialise in the more severe injuries."

What types of injuries are suffered?

These are some of the most devastating injuries and can leave an accident victim with permanent disability and life-changing consequences.

Can I claim for psychological trauma from a car accident?

We also understand the serious and debilitating nature of psychological and psychiatric trauma following a car accident and our experienced solicitors can help you make a claim for the psychological injuries, including PTSD, that you might be suffering following a road traffic accident.

Are we experts in the most complex of claims?

At Thompsons, we are experienced in handling claims for serious injuries and will endeavour to achieve the fullest amount of compensation possible for the injuries you or your loved one has suffered. Our personal injury solicitors will look holistically at your circumstances and we will provide assistance and support throughout the claim.

Even where a third-party admits liability and it appears to be an open and shut case, working out how your serious car accident injuries will affect the rest of your life is a complex undertaking, in which the importance of considering all the relevant factors is of the utmost importance. Ensuring you receive the fullest package of compensation will be our constant aim.

Your serious injury compensation claim may be made up of the following components:

How do we provide the most comprehensive service possible?

Our road traffic accident solicitor service extends far beyond merely representing you in your claim for compensation. Over the years we have built up strong relationships with numerous charities, support organisations, and experts in the fields of rehabilitation, treatment and assistive equipment.

What's more, in most road traffic accident claims we can provide our services on a No Win No Fee basis which means there is no financial risk to you. If your claim is unsuccessful, you will not have to pay us a penny and if you win your claim, you pay Thompsons solicitors a pre-agreed percentage of your compensation.

Outstanding Service – Efficient, Honest, and Highly Professional! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I cannot thank Rhaea Clark at Thompsons Solicitors enough for her incredible support with my personal injury claim. She handled my case on a No Win, No Fee basis, and what really stood out to me was her absolute transparency regarding fees. The billing structure was completely clear from day one, giving me total peace of mind that there would be no hidden surprises. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. I was kept updated every step of the way, and the entire claim was resolved much quicker than I ever expected. If you need a personal injury solicitor who is efficient, honest, and delivers fantastic results, I highly recommend Rhaea Clark. Thank you for making a stressful situation so easy!

Excellent Results

Alix Stewart and her team were great through my case. Alix kept in contact with myself via e-mails and phone calls, spoke very clearly and was very patience with me on the phone as I am deaf. Guiding me through the case and keeping me up to date. On the day of the pre-trial, it was over less than 2 hours, such a relief, excellent results.

Excellent service from Thompsons.

I cannot recommend Thompsons and Raegan Burnside in particular enough. The service I recieved was excellent. I was kept informed at all times as to how my case was progressing. I felt understood and listened to. Time was taken to make sure I understood what was happening and how the legal process would work in my case. Thompsons represented me when my employer failed in their duty of care.
