Can I Make A Personal Injury Claim?
If you’ve suffered an injury in Manchester and want to claim compensation, it’s important to be aware of the criteria you need to meet in order to proceed. Generally speaking, there are four things to satisfy:
- That the third-party responsible for the injury owed you a duty of care
- This duty was breached
- Because of the breach, you suffered an injury
- You must also begin legal action within 3 years of the date of the accident, or in some medical negligence cases, 3 years from the date you obtained knowledge that your porblems could be caused by negligence.
We offer a free eligibility check and case consultation, which you can take advantage of by clicking below.

Compensation Payouts, Amounts and Settlements
Compensation Calculator
Select the type of injury below to see an estimated compensation range.
Figures are guidelines only and depend on the severity of injury and individual circumstances.
When making a personal injury claim, you can be compensated for two types of loss:
- For your physical pain, mental suffering and impact on your quality of life. This is known as “general damages”.
- For any financial costs that can be linked with the accident and injury. This is known as a “special damages”.
Although each case is unique and payouts vary, we can provide you with some guideline figures for general damages that are taken from the Judicial College Guidelines, an official document used by lawyers to value injuries.
| Injury Type | Typical Compensation |
|---|---|
| Multiple Injuries and Financial Losses | Up to £500k+ |
| Brain Damage | Up to £493,000 |
| Psychiatric Damage | Up to £141,240 |
| Neck Injuries | Up to £181,020 |
| Back Injuries | Up to £196,450 |
| Shoulder Injuries | Up to £58,610 |
| Hip Injuries | Up to £159,770 |
| Hand Injuries | Up to £75,550 |
| Leg Injuries | Up to £165,860 |
| Knee Injuries | Up to £117,410 |
On top of general damages, you can add your special damages claim.
If you’ve lost earnings or salary, bonus payments, or pension contributions you can claim back these costs.
If you’ve incurred costs like having to pay for someone to help you clean the house or provide care, you can also claim for this—even if it was a family member giving up their time to help you.
The main thing to remember is to keep all your bills and receipts. This way, you can prove the expense and claim it back.

Make A Claim On A No Win No Fee Basis
If you’re looking to begin a compensation claim today and choose to work with our personal injury solicitors in Manchester, you will have the option to do so on a No Win No Fee basis.
This is phrase you may have heard before. No Win No Fee means that you don’t have to pay any fees upfront or while the case progresses. If the case doesn’t succeed, you don’t have to pay any of our fees either.
Only if the claim succeeds do you pay us a fee, and that fee is deducted from the compensation you’re awarded, so nothing comes out of your pocket directly.
This method of making a claim enables you to access quality legal support right away without having to risk paying high fees.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Below, you can find answers to more questions on working with our personal injury solicitors in Manchester.
Does Manchester Have Any Accident Hot Spots?
Yes. Public collision-map data shows several accident hot spots across Manchester where road traffic incidents are more common. According to Crash View, the following areas have some of the highest recorded accident figures in the city:
Deansgate (around M1 4DA)
3,381 recorded accidents
24 fatal collisions
Piccadilly (around M4 1JZ)
2,506 recorded accidents
25 fatal collisions
Hulme (around M1 7HL)
2,206 recorded accidents
20 fatal collisions
These areas tend to experience higher traffic volumes, busy junctions, nightlife activity, and dense pedestrian movement, which can increase the likelihood of collisions.
What Is The Local County Court In Manchester?
The local county court in Manchester is the Manchester County Court, located inside the Manchester Civil Justice Centre on Bridge Street West (M60 9DJ).
Where Is The Best Place To Go For Medical Treatment After An Accident In Manchester?
The best place to seek medical treatment after an accident in Manchester is usually the nearest A&E department. In Manchester, the main emergency hospital is Manchester Royal Infirmary (MRI), located on Oxford Road.
People in Manchester commonly attend:
Manchester Royal Infirmary A&E, Oxford Road, M13 9WL
The city’s main emergency department for serious injuries, trauma, fractures and urgent medical needs.North Manchester General Hospital, Delaunays Road, Crumpsall, M8 5RB
Provides urgent care and treatment for a wide range of accident-related injuries.Wythenshawe Hospital, Southmoor Road, M23 9LT
A major hospital in South Manchester with an emergency department and specialist trauma services.
For minor injuries, some people also use local urgent treatment centres or walk-in clinics, but serious or potentially serious injuries should always be assessed at A&E.
What Is A Personal Injury?
A personal injury is physical or psychological harm caused by an accident or incident that was not your fault. This can include injuries from road traffic accidents, workplace incidents, slips or trips, medical negligence, or public place accidents. If another party’s actions caused your injury, you may be entitled to compensation.
What Does Negligence Mean And How Do I Prove It?
Negligence means that someone failed to take reasonable care, and that failure caused your injury. To prove negligence, you must usually show that the other party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and that the breach directly caused your injury and losses. A solicitor will assess whether these elements can be established using evidence and legal principles.
What Role Does A Solicitor Play And How Can They Help Me?
A personal injury solicitor manages your claim from start to finish. They investigate what happened, gather evidence, deal with insurers or defendants, calculate the value of your claim, and negotiate compensation on your behalf. If necessary, they can also issue court proceedings to protect your claim, litigate, and maximise your chances of success.
What Evidence Do I Need To Prove My Personal Injury Claim?
Evidence can include medical records, accident reports, photographs, CCTV footage, witness statements, and documents showing financial losses such as lost earnings or travel expenses. You do not need all of this to begin a claim. A solicitor can advise on what evidence is needed and help you obtain it.
Is There A Limitation Period In Personal Injury Claims?
Yes. In most cases, you have three years to start a personal injury claim. This time limit usually runs from the date of the accident or from the date you became aware that your injury was caused by negligence. There are exceptions, including claims involving children or individuals who lack mental capacity.
How Long Does A Manchester Injury Claim Take?
The length of a personal injury claim in Manchester depends on the seriousness of the injury and whether liability is disputed. Straightforward claims may settle within a few months, while more complex or serious injury claims can take a year or longer.
Can I Claim If The Accident Was Partly My Fault?
Yes. You may still be able to claim compensation under contributory negligence rules. This means responsibility is shared between parties. Your compensation may be reduced to reflect your level of fault, but you are not automatically prevented from making a claim.
