Edinburgh is a vibrant city filled with festivals and cultural events.  It is also the capital city of Scotland and holds the second largest population. Like other cities, there is always the possibility of being involved in an accident. This may occur due to a car accident, an accident at work or even medical negligence in a medical setting.

If you or a loved one has been injured and you were not at fault, First Personal Injury can guide you through the process of filing a personal injury claim.

Personal Injury Cases

Personal injury covers a large range of different scenarios, such as being injured in a supermarket or at work. Edinburgh is a famous  destination for festivals, events and gigs. Personal injury cases may even include scenarios like being injured at a concert or festival. No matter the specific scenario, if the accident was not your fault, we can help you gain compensation.

Road Traffic Accidents

Collisions on the road can lead to serious injury and can be overwhelming at first. Whether it is a soft tissue injury or whiplash to serious head trauma, you may be eligible to make a claim for compensation if it was not your fault.

It is important to always put your health first and seek medical attention, even if your injuries appear to be minor.

Accidents at Work

Edinburgh is historically known for brewing and distilling, as well as printing industries and having a strong financial sector. Employers are legally obliged to provide a safe and healthy working environment. However, accidents may occur whether in an office or on a large industrial site.

Medical Negligence Cases  

Medical negligence is sadly a common cause of injury or discomfort. Your medical practitioner has a duty of care to ensure your safety. Examples of medical negligence includes delayed diagnoses or even missed diagnoses, which can result in further complications or medical outcomes.

If your type of case is not listed above, we can still help you. Personal Injury and Medical Negligence are simply the two most popular categories within which we help clients. However, we also deal with a large range of other types of cases such as Military Accident Claims or Defective Product cases.

How much compensation am I owed? 

Compensation must be decided on an individual basis because the specifics of each accident and resulting injury are also unique. The extent of your injuries and whether your injuries have caused you financial losses – such as being unable to return to work – are taken into account when calculating compensation.

While compensation is unique, there are general estimates of how much clients will usually receive for a specific type of injury. To calculate how much compensation you could be owed, use our compensation calculator.

How do I make a personal injury claim?  

At first, you must provide some initial details about your accident in Edinburgh, such as the date it occurred and where it happened.

Medical notes, photographs of the accident scene or any other information that you collected or produced at the time of or relating to your accident will become crucial evidence in your case.

Therefore, it is important and useful to keep any evidence – such as journal entries or text messages – relating to your case safe so that they can later be used in your case. If you are sent for further medical assessment, this will take place at a doctor’s surgery near to you so you are not further inconvenienced.
