What is a non-fault claim?
A non-fault claim can be made when you are not to blame for the accident that you were involved in. Our experienced solicitors at Solicitors On Your Side Scotland can recover a total cost from the person who caused the accident. Unlike the driver of the vehicle, the passenger is never to blame for the road traffic accident, meaning that in most cases, the passenger is entitled to recover damages. If you would like to find out whether you can make a claim, we advise you to contact one of our experienced solicitors at Solicitors On Your Side Scotland.
When can I make a non-fault claim?
If you were a passenger involved in a road traffic accident, you are entitled to make a non-fault claim. If you have been injured as a passenger, you can claim against:
- The driver of the vehicle you were in
- The other driver or both drivers
There are other circumstances during which you may be eligible to claim non-fault compensation, if you would like to know more, and find out whether you are entitled to make a claim, contact one of our experienced solicitors at Solicitors On Your Side Scotland, for professional advice.
Some passengers may wonder whether they can claim if they were as a passenger in a car that caused the accident. The answer is that you can, as you weren’t to blame the accident, and you may have still experienced injuries and loss from it, and you may be eligible to claim compensation.

If you have been hurt in a road traffic accident, you can claim a range of damages and losses.

How to make a compensation claim
If you experienced damage or loss after your accident, we highly advise that you contact one of our experienced solicitors at Solicitors On Your Side Scotland.
The amount of compensation depends on how much damage you experienced, whether physical, financial or mental. The more evidence you can provide for your case, the more likely you are to get higher compensation. However, every case is different and to find out more about how much compensation you may get, contact one of our experienced solicitors at Solicitors On your Side Scotland.
Evidence to include:
- Photographs of the accidents and your injuries
- Videos of the accidents and your injuries
- Witness reports from anyone who could have seen the accident
- Medical Reports
Our experienced solicitors will help you access any necessary medical records to help you get the highest possible compensation for your case.
The time limit for making a claim
We advise that the time limit for making a compensation claim in Scotland is three years since the accident has occurred. We recommend that the earlier you make your claim the better, as the information is fresh in your mind. The information is also easier to access if you claim compensation sooner.
