Damaged car beside a road in Welwyn Garden City, UK

Road Traffic Accident Solicitors Manchester

A road collision can disrupt your health, income and everyday routines. Whether you were driving, travelling as a passenger, cycling or walking, MWG Solicitors can discuss the incident and explain the possible next steps.

Who can seek advice after a collision?

Drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians may have a claim where another party is legally responsible for their injuries. Responsibility can be disputed or shared, so clear evidence matters. MWG’s Personal Injury team includes Justin Jones, whose profile describes his work on road traffic injury claims, including private hire and public hire drivers. The right approach depends on the collision, injuries and losses.

Evidence to keep after a road accident

  • Details of the vehicles, drivers, insurers and any witnesses.
  • Photographs and available dashcam or CCTV footage.
  • Police reference numbers and medical records.
  • Records of missed work, expenses and assistance needed.
Prioritise safety and treatment. Drivers also have duties concerning exchanging details and reporting accidents. GOV.UK explains what to do after a collision.

Uninsured drivers and hit-and-run incidents

If an uninsured or untraced driver caused the accident, a claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau may be possible. Eligibility, evidence and procedural requirements apply. Report the circumstances promptly and seek advice about the applicable route. Read the MIB’s claims guidance.

Understanding the right claims route

Different procedures apply depending on the injury, claimant and claim value. Some lower-value road injury claims use the Official Injury Claim process. Serious or complex injuries need careful assessment of prognosis, rehabilitation and future losses. Ask which route applies before agreeing a settlement.

Read our dedicated guidance on motorcycle accident claims and cycling accident claims. For lasting injuries, explore the Serious Injury service, or return to our Personal Injury overview.
