The Compensate Personal Injury Network
Lindsays are members of the Compensate Personal Injury Network a national network set up to provide clients with the best possible service when dealing with a Personal Injury Claim.
Your Accident
It is a fact that accidents happen and whatever the circumstances being involved in an accident is at the very least hugely inconvenient and more likely extremely painful both physically and mentally. It is your right, if because of this accident, you have suffered injury and damage to your person or belongings that the negligent party pays you just compensation - in most cases this will be an insurance company.
Receiving compensation for your accident depends on a number of factors but essentially is dependant on whether the other party involved was negligent. In simplest terms just because an accident happens does not automatically mean someone is to blame, they must have contributed to the circumstances of the accident.

The Compensate process explained
The process of applying for Compensate Network support is very straightforward. Your lawyer will take your details and apply to Compensate for support. If the Network specialist solicitors consider that the case has a reasonable prospect of success, Compensate will enter into a contract with you to support your claim. That contract will provide that, in exchange for a percentage of your damages, normally 20%, Compensate will fund your case throughout and will give you complete protection in relation to the expenses of the court action. Compensate will take out, at its expense, an insurance policy, to give you the client guaranteed peace of mind. Compensate will also pay for all expert reports needed to maximise your claim.

Expert help, when you need it most
If you have been injured in an accident you need the services of a specialist personal injury solicitor. Not only will an expert lawyer be more likely to win your case, you will almost certainly recover significantly more in damages. In common with other fields of law, personal injury work is becoming increasingly complex and specialised. The Compensate Network, in partnership with your local solicitor, allows you access to experts in each area of personal injury law, whether a road traffic accident, accident at work or an accident which has caused a specific injury. For you, that means, access to justice at no financial risk.
Why should I give up a percentage of my damages?
In order for the Compensate Network to fully explore your case, employ expert witnesses and advocate the Network pays an insurance premium against the risk of losing the case. This not only pays for these elements but will also pay the costs of the other sides legal team disputing the case - usually a substantial sum. Successful cases allows us to then recoup these costs and pay the insurance levy.
This benefits you - our research has shown statistically you will gain up to double the compensation with Sheriff Court cases and up to three times as much with Court of Session cases than the pre-litigation offer given by the insurance companies. In short, having the clout to litigate ensures we are taken seriously and even though most of time we don’t go to court having the ability to prepare every case as if we are will ensure the highest possible award for you. Other firms in Scotland who do not have access to the Network and this type of funding will do everything they can not to litigate and therefore you will be short-changed on your rightful damages.
