Local Context for Personal Injury Solicitor in Glasgow
Deadlines, venue, insurers, and medical documentation all play differently in Glasgow. This page pulls together the local context that matters before you speak with a personal injury solicitor.
Scotland Personal Injury Law
In Scotland, the limitation period for personal injury claims is 3 years from the date of injury (Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973, s.17). Missing this deadline typically bars your claim permanently.
Wrongful death claims must be filed within 3 years under Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973, s.18.
Medical negligence claims have a 3-year limitation period (3 years from date of knowledge, court may allow late claims under s.19A).
Scotland follows the Law Reform (Contributory Negligence) Act 1945 (which extends to Scotland). Damages are reduced proportionally based on the pursuer's share of fault.
