Serious Injury Solicitors in Manchester

A serious injury can change how you work, live and care for your family. Speak to MWG Solicitors in Manchester about a potential compensation claim, rehabilitation and the evidence needed to assess your immediate and longer-term needs.

Call 0161 835 2446 or contact our Personal Injury team to discuss your circumstances and funding options.

Looking beyond the initial injury

Serious injuries may include brain and spinal injuries, amputations, severe burns and complex multiple injuries. The diagnosis is only part of the picture: the effect on independence, relationships, employment and daily routines also needs to be understood. A claim depends on establishing legal responsibility and the harm caused. It should be assessed on its own evidence, rather than compared with a headline award in another case.

Rehabilitation and practical support

Early consideration of treatment and rehabilitation can help identify urgent needs. Depending on the circumstances, support may include therapy, equipment, care or assistance returning to work. An interim payment may be possible by agreement or where the court’s conditions are satisfied. It is an advance towards compensation, rather than an additional award. Ask whether it could help meet immediate costs in your case.

Building a picture of future needs

  • Medical prognosis and rehabilitation requirements.
  • Paid care and assistance from family members.
  • Loss of earnings and future employment prospects.
  • Equipment, mobility and accommodation needs.
  • Ongoing treatment and injury-related expenses.
Independent expert evidence may be needed. A final settlement should be considered with an understanding of likely future needs and the assumptions used to value them.

Helping a loved one

Family members can assist by keeping records and explaining the help provided. Where a child or adult lacking capacity is involved, additional legal safeguards apply. In England and Wales, settlements for children and protected parties require court approval. Civil Procedure Rules Part 21 explains the framework.

How your claim can progress

Contact the team with the accident date, a short account and details of treatment, work and care needs. We can discuss the evidence, investigate responsibility and explain the proposed funding terms. The timing of expert assessments and any settlement should reflect the medical evidence and your longer-term needs. No win no fee funding is subject to assessment and written agreement. Ask about success fees, expenses, insurance and potential deductions before deciding whether to instruct us.

Serious Injury Questions

No. Valuation depends on the injury, its consequences, financial evidence and the issues affecting legal responsibility.
Rehabilitation needs can be considered early. Funding and arrangements depend on the circumstances and should be discussed with your solicitor.
Relatives can provide practical support. Formal authority to conduct proceedings on someone else’s behalf requires separate consideration.
An interim payment may be possible before final settlement in suitable cases. It is not automatic and depends on the circumstances, liability position and applicable legal requirements.
