Road Traffic Accident Claims Solicitors Glasgow
Road traffic accidents are unfortunately a common occurrence on Scotland’s roads. In the immediate aftermath of an accident, most people’s concerns are focused on vehicle damage and who was at fault. However, if you have been injured in a road accident, whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist or pedestrian, you may be entitled to claim road traffic accident compensation for your injuries and any associated financial losses.
A large number of people who have been involved in a road traffic accident do not seek legal advice or claim the compensation they deserve, often assuming their injuries are not serious enough to pursue. However, even if you suffered mild discomfort or a minor injury, you are entitled to make an accident injury claim. In a recent case, our personal injury solicitors secured compensation for a client even though they were held to be 40% at fault for the accident.

- Loss of earnings (past and future)
- Medical treatment and rehabilitation costs

Our personal injury solicitors will ensure that every aspect of your losses is fully accounted for before any settlement is agreed, leaving no stone unturned to secure the best possible outcome for you.
How Khan Law Handles Your Claim
At Khan Law, we are committed to making the accident claims process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. We handle all road traffic accident claims on a conditional fee agreement, more commonly known as a no win no fee basis. This means you pay nothing in legal costs if your case is unsuccessful. If your claim succeeds, a pre-agreed success fee capped by law is deducted from your compensation, with no hidden costs at any stage.
For some of our clients, pursuing an accident compensation claim is a new experience. As specialist road traffic accident solicitors, we take the time to explain each step of the process clearly, keep you updated throughout and provide professional advice on any settlement offers received on your behalf. We will gather all available evidence from the scene of the accident, including photographs, witness statements and dashcam footage, to ensure your claim is successful. The vast majority of road traffic accident claims are resolved without the need for court proceedings, but if your case does proceed to court, our personal injury lawyers will guide and support you every step of the way.
Where possible, it is always advisable to report the accident to the police at the time, particularly in cases involving injury, uninsured drivers or disputed liability. A police report can provide valuable supporting evidence for your road accident claim.
If you would like to make a claim, contact our team on 0141 378 0514, or fill out our enquiry form, and a member of our team will be in touch.
Scotland’s Three-Year Time Limit
In Scotland, you generally have three years from the date of your road traffic accident to make a claim for compensation. If you were under 16 at the time of the accident, the three-year period begins on your 16th birthday. These time limits are strictly enforced, so it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible after your accident.
