Great results for retired Unite members and their families

As a panel law firm for Unite Scotland Legal Services, Allan McDougall Solicitors acts free of charge for retired Unite members for personal injury compensation claims. In addition, their immediate family members are entitled to free legal representation for personal injuries apart from those sustained at work.

As retired Unite members, claimants are not charged a success fee, which means they receive 100% of any compensation. Most other law firms that are not solicitors for Unite usually retain a significant percentage of clients’ settlements.

We have an impressive track record of achieving excellent results for retired Unite members and their families, often negotiating higher final awards than the initial offer. Here are some examples:

£14,153 compensation was secured for a retired Unite member who suffered pleural plaques, a disease which develops due to past exposure to asbestos.
