    In Scotland, the equivalent is the dependants’ action, pursued under Scots law for loss suffered by family members when a person dies due to another’s fault. Proceedings typically take place in the Court of Session or Sheriff Court, depending on the circumstances, with damages assessed under Scots rules and schemes. A solicitor in this area handles proving fault and causation, assembling earnings and dependency evidence, and negotiating or arguing for damages on behalf of dependants, including any applicable bereavement considerations under Scottish law.

    “Leonie Millard is an outstanding solicitor who has dedicated her career to helping clients who gives her clients a voice when they might not have one themselves due to their disability. She is very responsive in responding to queries about my relatives case and replies to e-mails and phone-calls very quickly which is an excellent trait in a solicitor. She was very compassionate, caring, and committed to the outcome of my relatives case which was a very good outcome and secured justice for her. Leonie's service over the past four years has been absolutely perfect and she is supported by an excellent team of Carole Purdie (her secretary) who is on the ball and does her best to support client queries too. I would rate Forbes Solicitors 5/5 stars and I can't identify any recommendations on how they improve their services because they provided a consistent perfect service over the past four years!”

    “I cannot thank my solicitor enough for the support, compassion, and professionalism she has shown throughout my loss of dependency claim. From the very beginning, she treated me with genuine empathy and understanding during what has been an incredibly difficult and emotional time. She was always available to answer my questions, kept me informed every step of the way, and explained everything clearly and patiently. Her dedication, attention to detail, and determination gave me confidence that my case was in the best possible hands. What stood out most was her kindness and sensitivity. She never lost sight of the personal impact of my loss and always handled matters with the utmost care and respect. I am truly grateful for all of her hard work and support, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a solicitor who is not only exceptionally skilled but also genuinely compassionate.”
