Accident and personal injury compensation claim solicitors Scotland.

Bonnar and Company will pursue your compensation claims as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Whether it's a road traffic accident, construction or workplace accident, medical negligence, defective goods, a trip, slip or a fall, Bonnar and Company can provide support just when you need it most.

HOW YOU CLAIM IS PROGRESSED

Bonnar and Company is dedicated to the efficient and effective progress of personal injury claims in Scotland. We apply our expertise and experience to secure the maximum amount of compensation for our clients who have been injured through no fault of their own.
Road traffic accident, construction site or workplace injury, industrial disease, defective goods, a trip, a slip or a fall, whatever the nature of your accident or injury, Bonnar and Company will take the following systematic and structured approach to preparing and pursuing your claim.

Step 1 - initial meeting and discussion

You decide to contact us and tell us everything you can about the circumstances of your injury. You can chose to do this by telephone or you might prefer to visit one of our offices. In any event you will be able to speak directly to a qualified personal injury claims solicitor.

We will discuss your claim in some detail to ensure that we understand the nature of your injury, the events leading up to your accident, the impact your injury has had on you and your family and what the future holds in terms of your employment prospects and physical capabilities. We will also fully explain the details of our ‘no win, no fee’ scheme and ask you to sign an agreement authorising us to progress your personal injury compensation claim.

At any stage of your claim you are most welcome to bring a family member along with you to our offices or we can arrange for a home visit should you prefer.

Step 2 - preparing your personal injury claim

From the moment we agree to represent you and pursue your personal injury claim we will take care of every aspect of the case. Our key task is to prepare the best possible case for compensation and present this directly to the defender’s insurance company with the aim of achieving a settlement without having to resort to court proceedings.

The preparation of your case will typically involve taking photographs and measurements of the location of your accident or injury (including any equipment, machinery or vehicles involved), witness statements and expert medical or other professional opinions and reports.

Please remember that under our ‘no win - no fee’ policy you pay nothing at all towards the costs of preparing your claim, regardless of the complexity of your case.

Step 3 - presenting your claim for compensation

Bonnar & Company has many years experience in presenting cases which achieve the maximum possible level of compensation for our clients and you can be assured that we will be working flat out to get a result for you as quickly as practicable.

Bonnar & Company will draw all the evidence together with the aim of presenting the best possible case on your behalf. We undertake to pro-actively pursue your claim with professionalism and vigour and we always seek to encourage an early stage, positive response.

In some cases, however, when insurers reject a claim or offer an unrealistic settlement, we will have no option but to raise court proceedings. Should we find ourselves in this position, your appointed solicitor, who remains in overall charge of your case throughout, will keep you fully informed of all important developments.

Step 4 - court proceedings

If court proceedings are unavoidable due to the intransigence of the defender’s insurance company or should your solicitor advise that this is the best course of action for your claim regardless of what the defender does or doesn’t do, Bonnar & Company will ensure that your case is properly prepared for court and that all necessary expert and other witnesses are lined up to speak on your behalf.

Although Bonnar & Company is always totally prepared for a court appearance, it is a fact, however, that the majority of actions raised actually settle ‘out of court’ and that an acceptable settlement is usually reached before the hearing date.

If Bonnar & Company take your claim to The Sheriff Court or The Court of Session in Edinburgh you can be assured that we have the expertise and experience to achieve the maximum possible award. Although the outcome can never be guaranteed of course, we are unlikely to get to this stage without a strong belief in the validity and strength of our case.

You will naturally be appraised of progress every step of the way and given ample opportunity to discuss your claim with your appointed solicitor, who will give you the expert legal advice and present you with all relevant facts to help inform any decision you might be required to make.
