Legal services for Usdaw members and their families
The team at Allan McDougall Solicitors has been working for Usdaw members and their families throughout Scotland for many years.
How we help Usdaw members
As panel solicitors for Usdaw, we act for Usdaw members free of charge when you need legal advice for:
Personal injury compensation claims
- Any accident, anywhere in the UK, including accidents at work and outside of work.
- Accidents and injuries while outside the UK on a package holiday.
- Road traffic and cycling accidents.
- Work-related conditions and occupational diseases (including repetitive strain injuries, deafness, asbestos-related illnesses, vibration white finger, occupational asthma and dermatitis).
- Slips, trips and falls.
- Injuries caused by violent crime or armed robbery (Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority claims).
- Public liability and occupiers’ liability claims.
Family members living with an Usdaw member are covered for any non-work related accidents anywhere, anytime in the UK and also if they are injured while outside the UK on a package holiday.
As an Usdaw member, you and your family members will not be charged a success fee. This means that you will receive 100% of any compensation. Note that most other law firms that are not panel solicitors for Usdaw will retain a significant percentage (as high as 30%) of your settlement.

- Separation and divorce.
- Dissolution of Civil Partnerships.
- Cohabitation.
- Pre and post-nuptial agreements.
