The most common area that personal injury law covers is that of motor vehicle collisions. Most personal injury claims that are brought in court are claimed on the basis of injuries sustained as the result of a motor vehicle accident. In such cases the claim is usually made either on behalf of the person who was at the wheel of the vehicle at the time of the accident or on behalf of someone who was driving the vehicle at the time of the accident. It is sometimes possible for you to claim compensation if you have been injured as a pedestrian in a traffic accident.

If you need to appoint a solicitor to make a claim on your behalf in Scotland then you need to be aware of certain factors that may affect the success of your claim. One of these is that in cases where there are two defendants, the solicitor will be asked to assess the case between them on the basis of whose behaviour caused the other to be negligent. If your solicitor is unable to decide between the two cases then the court may have regard to the behaviour of one of the defendants and give its decision. In such cases, compensation for personal injury can be claimed by the defendant whose behaviour caused the other to be negligent.
