ACS Accident Claims Scotland - Road Traffic & Workplace Personal Injury Solicitors: Review
This was an unusual one for us. For almost a decade now, we've only ever allowed actual law firms on our panel for people to search for. However, before the 1to1Legal brand came into being, we ran a similar but different service referring people to solicitors.
Today, all of us here at 1to1 sit behind a desk trying to get people direct to a law firm for the initial contact. But from 1999 to 2007, it was not uncommon for some of us to be face down on a wet pavement taking photographs of potholes and interviewing clients. We would investigate any accident, sort out ATE insurance (legal cost coverage), and various other things we thought were necessary before passing someone on. The guy behind ACS, was one of the people that worked with us on that old system.
That's a quote from the Accident Claims Scotland website. In Scotland there is often some confusion about "no win, no fee" and "100% compensation". No win, no fee means no fees if the case loses. But there are sometimes fees if the case wins. This should be made clear to you from the outset though once the details of your case are known.
It's a fair point to make about specialists. Certainly whenever someone gets a speeding ticket they don't look up for a general law practice. People immediately search for that lawyer who deals with speeding tickets day in and day out. For many other case types such as wills, divorce or injuries though people don't seem to have such motiviation.
The main case types they cover include Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs), Accidents At Work (Employer Liability), Work Related Disease (aka Industrial Disease), Public Liability, and Criminal Assault (CICA). If you're not sure which category you fit into, call to see if they cover your particular injury.
Their website is concise. You won't find hundreds of pages about everything and anything. There is a core group of case description pages and answer pages such as the FAQs page which covers things such as "Do I need any money to claim through ACS?" or "How long do I have to make a claim?" or "How long will it take?"
A note on navigation. As with most firms that have names using general terms (i.e. 'accident', 'claims', and 'scotland') Google might mess you about when searching for them. There are several law firms that have pages with the title accident claims in scotland. The correct web address is www.accidentclaimsscotland.co.uk, but www.accidentclaimsscotland.com shows exactly the same website. www.acs.co.uk and www.acs.com are two totally different IT companies. www.accidentclaimscotland.co.uk and www.accidentclaimscotland.com (minus the extra "s") currently show absolutely nothing. So it might be an idea to bookmark the correct site once you know you are on it for safety's sake.
General Notes: Usually if Legal Aid is possible we've mentioned it above, but you can always ask. We haven't looked in depth at their recruitment program so are unaware of any job vacancies available. For a career with ACS Accident Claims Scotland it's best to visit the website (www.accidentclaimsscotland.co.uk), check opening hours, and find the correct phone/email contact details. Simply emailing a CV to reception looks lazy. Each law firm's Law Society and/or SRA number should be on their site, usually at the bottom of each page.
