Question 1

How long do I have to claim after a car accident?

Accepted Answer

In Scotland, you generally have 3 years from the date of the accident to make a claim. However, it's best to start the process as soon as possible.

Question 2

Can I claim if the accident was partly my fault?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can still claim even if you were partially at fault. Scotland uses contributory negligence, meaning your compensation may be reduced by your share of blame.

Question 3

What if the other driver was uninsured?

Accepted Answer

You can still claim through the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB), which compensates victims of uninsured and untraced drivers.
