At Moray Claims / Grigor & Young, we regularly receive enquiries from people in the Moray area regarding potential personal injury claims. Because – via this website and the Grigor & Young website – we have frequently expressed our thoughts and feelings on all things personal-injury-claim-related, we often get asked who are some of the other Scottish solicitors who provide compensation claims services to injured people in Moray. It’s important that you should be as informed as possible if you are making decisions in relation to a potential personal injury claim. Here is an alphabetical list of some of the solicitors who market their services to people in Moray for personal injury compensation claims. This has been compiled by reference to Google search engine results (“personal injury moray”) and we have tried our best to make the list as comprehensive as possible by researching this over a period of 7 days. 1.

3 types of information your personal injury solicitor needs from you at the start
As Dan Pink notes in his 2018 book, When (The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing), by some estimates, about half the people in a typical marathon are taking part in a marathon for the first time. Another thing that links many first-time marathoners, as it turns out, is age. A scientific paper published in 2014 concludes that people search for meaning when they approach a new decade in chronological age. At certain ages, we are inspired to greater self-reflection than at others. Adults often examine their lives for existential meaning when they approach a new decade in age (29, 39, 49 etc.) – which can lead to behaviour that suggests an ongoing search for meaning. Exercising more intensely, with a view to participating in a marathon, is one example of such behaviour. This phenomenon was of interest to me because I completed my first marathon in 2017 – at the age of 49. It seems that reaching the end of a decade in life can shake up our thinking, directing what we do and how we Continue Reading
Why you might be surprised who qualifies as a cohabitee (more people than you’d expect)
In modern society, cohabitation is an increasingly popular family structure. As one aspect of the response to this change, the Family Law (Scotland) Act 2006 was enacted to provide particular limited rights to cohabiting couples. On the breakdown of their relationship within their lifetimes, a former cohabitee has the chance to make a claim for financial provision from his or her former partner. On the death of one of them – provided they did not leave a will – the survivor can make a claim for financial provision from the deceased’s estate. The time limit for a “separation” claim is one year from the date of separation and, for a “death” claim, only 6 months. These time limits are very short indeed and they cannot be extended. As a sort of public information drive, we have a poster we often display outside our offices which summarises the time limit for death claims. If a cohabitee dies as the result of an accident which is due to the fault or breach of duty of Continue Reading
How we help you at Moray Claims
In the video below, Peter Brash of Moray Claims and Grigor & Young explains how we can help you with advice in relation to a possible personal injury claim, especially if you are in Moray. We recommend all injured people to get advice as soon as possible from a local, specialist solicitor. By doing that, you'll be clear about your rights and be in a position to get proper access to justice should you choose to go down the route of making a compensation claim. You need to speak to someone who is not only knowledgeable and experienced, but independent and definitely on your side. The insurers on the other side of your potential claim fit the "well-informed" bit but they're principally looking after the interests of their shareholders and not your interests, despite what they may tell you. In the video, Peter explains why "local is best", in our view. Early advice from a solicitor will set you off on the right track, with the best chance of avoiding all the pitfalls. And Continue Reading
