Legal

• The purpose of this section is to provide information about possible legal consequences of a sudden traumatic event which may arise from:

  • sudden death

  • personal injury

• As this website has been developed in Scotland, the legal information contained within this section is based on Scots law (or Scottish law).

• No legal advice is given in this section, as circumstances can vary substantially. Legal advice should be sought from a solicitor. Many but not all solicitors will offer an initial short interview free of charge. Details of how to find a solicitor in Scotland are available from the Law Society of Scotland.
