Background to the Network
Compensate Personal Injury Network has been established by Digby Brown Solicitors Scotland’s largest personal injury firm. Our credentials in Personal Injury are strong and reflect the wealth of experience and expertise we hold. The firm is ranked Band 1 and Tier 1 by Chambers and Legal 500, respectively, 3 of the partners are rated “Leaders in their Field”, as well as winning Litigation Firm of the Year and Litigation Team of the Year at the Law Awards, Glasgow and Legal Awards, Edinburgh in 2009/10.
The firm has recognised through its work with other referring solicitors and correspondent firms that personal injury cases can cause unique difficulties to a general law practice. Due to the pressures of time, continual legislative changes and the under settling of cases by insurers - from Digby Brown’s experience*, due to the difficulty and risk in litigating, clients do not always receive the best possible service or outcome in their compensation claim.
The Network has been set up to address this and offers a partnership approach to running personal injury cases. In 2009, the average referral paid to solicitors was £2967.
