Why Choose HD Claims?
Experts In Scottish Law
Legal systems differ significantly across the UK. Scotland has its own Personal Injury Law and unique court procedures (such as the Sheriff’s courts) that differ from UK law. It is crucial to use a specialist who understands these local nuances, such as the specific three-year limitation period under the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973.
Maximum Compensation Recovery
We specialise in recovering the maximum personal injury compensation possible for your specific circumstances. This goes beyond just injury damages; we look at loss of earnings, rehabilitation costs, and damage to your vehicle.
For a better understanding of what we have achieved for previous clients, please see our case studies.
No Financial Risk To You
Our No Win No Fee promise (Conditional Fee Agreement) means you do not pay towards legal expenses if your solicitor takes your claim and it is unsuccessful. These costs are written off by the solicitor, ensuring you won’t pay a penny if you don’t win.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a time limit for making a claim?
Yes. In Scotland, you generally have three years from the date of the accident (or date of knowledge) to initiate court proceedings; it is crucial to seek legal guidance promptly.
What if I was partially at fault?
You may still be able to claim. Even if you think you could be partially responsible, please don’t hesitate to get in touch, as we can assess the degree of liability.
What exactly is "No Win No Fee"?
It means that if your claim is unsuccessful, you are not liable for the solicitor’s fees or outlays. This protects you from financial risk.
