New Scottish solicitor panel launched by the National Accident Helpline

UK claims company, National Accident Helpline, has announced the creation of a new consolidated solicitor panel to enhance the support available to accident victims in Scotland.

A recent independent study, 'The Real Cost of Personal Injury in Scotland', found that 52 per cent of personal injury victims did not make a claim. For the National Accident Helpline, this was evidence of the need for the creation of a Scottish panel to provide greater access to justice for those with legitimate injuries.

Russell Atkinson, chief executive of National Accident Helpline, said: "I'm delighted to be able to announce our new panel arrangements in support of our Scottish customers. We are dedicated to helping people across Scotland, and the wider UK, gain access to the justice they deserve."

The organisation's new Scottish solicitor panel will allow for closer work with two leading and long established specialist personal injury firms. Digby Brown and Thorntons now form the Scottish arm of National Accident Helpline's solicitor panel, which consists of almost 50 specialist UK personal injury firms.

Fraser Oliver, chief Executive at Digby Brown, commented: "Digby Brown's commitment to all of our clients is to provide independent legal advice and access to justice. We are pleased to be appointed to the new National Accident Helpline panel in Scotland and look forward to using our experience, expertise and resources to help people across the country. With our six offices across Scotland, our specialist departments and solicitors provide a quality service to people anywhere in the country."

Thorntons partner, Gordon McBean, observed: "We have a long-standing relationship with National Accident Helpline, having worked with them for more than 15 years. We are pleased to be appointed, along with Digby Brown, to its new Scottish Solicitor panel. The team at Thorntons has an incredible depth of knowledge and experience across our five offices, which ensures that people who require our assistance will get the very best legal help."
