Your employer has a duty to keep you safe
Every employer in Scotland has a legal duty to provide a safe working environment. That means keeping equipment in good working order, giving you adequate training, carrying out proper risk assessments and supplying the right protective equipment for the job.
When your employer fails in that duty and you are injured as a result, you have the right under Scots law to claim compensation, whatever work you do and however big or small the company.
What your compensation covers
- Pain and sufferingThe injury itself
- Lost earningsPay you lost while off work
- Treatment and rehabilitationThe cost of getting better
- Out-of-pocket expensesOther costs caused by the accident
Your rights
Worried about your job?
It is unlawful for an employer to dismiss you, penalise you or treat you differently because you have made a genuine personal injury claim.
In practice, the claim is handled between your solicitor and your employer's liability insurer. That is exactly what the insurance exists for, and the vast majority of workplace claims are resolved without any lasting impact on your job.

You focus on recovering. We do everything else.
We gather the evidence, deal with your employer's insurer and manage the whole process on your behalf, so you can concentrate on getting back on your feet.
Time limits apply. In Scotland you generally have three years from the date of your accident, or from when you first became aware of your injury, to bring a claim. Do not leave it too late.
Frequently asked questions
Something else on your mind? Call 0800 611 8132, day or night.
What types of workplace accident can I claim for?
We handle all types of workplace injury claim, including slips, trips and falls, manual handling injuries, accidents involving machinery or vehicles, falls from height, injuries caused by faulty or inadequate equipment, exposure to harmful substances, and incidents caused by insufficient training or supervision. If your employer's negligence contributed to your injury, you are likely to have a valid claim.
Can I claim if the accident was partly my fault?
Possibly. Under Scots law, compensation can still be awarded where both sides share some responsibility for an accident. This is known as contributory negligence. Your compensation may be reduced to reflect your share, but it does not mean you have no claim at all. We will assess this honestly during your free initial consultation.
Will claiming affect my job?
It is unlawful for your employer to dismiss you, demote you or treat you unfavourably because you have made a genuine personal injury claim. Claims are dealt with by your employer's liability insurer, not directly by your employer, and most are resolved without any lasting impact on your employment. If you have concerns about your situation, our solicitors can advise you on your rights before you decide to go ahead.
What evidence will help my claim?
Useful evidence includes an entry in your employer's accident book, witness details, photographs of the hazard or scene, medical records, records of time off work, payslips showing lost earnings, and any correspondence with your employer about the accident. We will help you gather whatever is available and tell you what matters most for your case.
How long do I have to make a claim in Scotland?
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident. For conditions that develop gradually, such as industrial disease or repetitive strain injury, the three years run from the date you first became aware that your condition was linked to your work. Missing the deadline means losing your right to claim, so seek advice as soon as possible.
How much compensation could I receive?
It depends on the nature and severity of your injuries, how long your recovery takes, and the financial losses you have suffered as a direct result of the accident. After a free initial assessment, we will give you a realistic estimate. You can also try our compensation calculator.
