First Aider Helps Injured Man After Forklift Accident

//  by 

If you have been injured as a result of an accident, we recommend that you get advice from a local, personal injury specialist solicitor, to see if you have prospects of claiming compensation for your injuries and consequential losses (e.g. loss of earnings).

Helping you in Moray

At Grigor & Young / Moray Claims, our principal aim is to help people in Moray to claim full and fair compensation for their losses.

Personal injury claims are handled by our solicitors, Marie Morrison and Peter Brash. Both of them are accredited by the Law Society of Scotland as Specialists in Personal Injury Law.

They are also each accredited by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) as Senior Litigators. The Elgin office of Grigor & Young has corporate accreditation from APIL.

What is APIL?

A video about APIL

APIL has produced a video – available on YouTube (transcript below) – which explains the ethos of the organisation, its reach and aims.

APIL campaigns for the rights of injured people in Moray and beyond – across the UK. It has an ongoing mission to educate the public about their rights and train its member lawyers, to ensure that the highest standard of legal advice is maintained.

APIL recognises that money is not everything and there needs to be much more focus on rehabilitation in future, to help you, the injured person, recover as fully and as quickly as possible.

Video transcript

A transcript of the audio from the video is provided below.

“Every day, too many people are needlessly injured because others did not take, or could not be bothered to take, reasonable care.

Their lives can be completely shattered through no fault of their own.

The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (or APIL, for short) believes these people have a right to get their lives back on track, and quickly.

We are a not-for-profit organisation that has been fighting for the rights of injured people for more than 25 years.

We believe in the importance of preventing needless injury but, when such injuries do occur, people have the right to seek justice, care and fair compensation. We believe passionately in that right.

We promote the interests of injured people and campaign for reform whenever it is needed, working with: parliamentarians from all parties, across all UK jurisdictions; like-minded organisations; and charities.

APIL believes that injured people deserve nothing less than a high quality service, so we run accreditation and training schemes for our member lawyers, to ensure they are the best they can be.

But seeking redress is not just about financial compensation: rehabilitation and care are crucial but not routinely available, so we are promoting greater collaboration from all concerned to help people get better more quickly. We are committed to this as part of our ongoing fight for the rights of injured people.”

We are here to help

Our offices are closed but we are still open and here to help.

In accordance with Government guidelines, and to ensure the health and well-being of our Staff and the wider community, our offices in Elgin and Forres are now closed to the public until further notice.

However, we are still here to help you. We have a very small, core team remaining at each office and the bulk of our legal and property teams are working remotely and are available to assist you by way of telephone, video call or email.

Our main office number (01343 544077) is manned from 9am – 5pm, Monday to Thursday and 9am – 4pm on Fridays. Please call and you will be passed to the member of our team dealing with your business. If you are a new client requiring assistance, then you will be passed to someone who will be able to help.

Those members of our team who are working remotely remain contactable on their direct dial numbers and email. If the person who was dealing with your business is not currently working then your call or email is being diverted to the person progressing matters for you.

This is a difficult time for everyone. We want to do all that we can to help you continue with any ongoing business, or simply help and advise you if you have concerns. These are extraordinary times and we totally understand that you may have legal questions or concerns. Please feel free to call for a chat and we will do all we can to assist.

If we all take good care of ourselves, our families, our friends and our neighbours, we are sure that together we will come through this difficult time.
