Personal injury claims are legal actions taken when you have been harmed because someone else acted carelessly or failed in their duty of care. A personal injury can include anything from whiplash after a car accident to a serious back injury caused by unsafe equipment at work. In a busy part of Manchester like Hulme, where residential areas meet commercial zones and heavy traffic, accidents unfortunately happen regularly.
If you live or work in Hulme and have been hurt in an accident that was not your fault, you may be entitled to claim compensation. Marley Solicitors has helped many local clients recover costs for medical care, lost income, and ongoing rehabilitation under a no win, no fee agreement.
What is a personal injury claim?
A personal injury claim is a process where you seek financial compensation for the physical or psychological harm you have suffered due to someone else’s negligence. For example:
- A driver runs a red light near Princess Road and hits your car, causing whiplash and back strain.
- You trip over loose paving outside a busy Hulme retail park, injuring your ankle.
- A piece of unsafe machinery at work causes a serious cut or fracture.
In each case, the law allows you to claim for the damage caused to your health and finances.
Can I make a personal injury claim in Hulme?
Yes. If the accident happened in Hulme and you were not to blame, you can make a claim. Many accidents in this area occur near main routes such as Stretford Road or at pedestrian-heavy junctions near the local colleges and university buildings.
Marley Solicitors is familiar with Hulme’s local services. We regularly work with evidence from Manchester Royal Infirmary, local GP practices such as Boundary Surgery, and physiotherapists in the area. Having a solicitor who knows the region can make gathering medical reports and other evidence quicker and simpler.

This local focus speeds up evidence gathering and strengthens your case.
What kind of injuries can lead to a claim?
Personal injury covers a wide range of harm. Some examples include:
- Whiplash or neck injuries from sudden impacts
- Fractures and broken bones from slips or workplace accidents
- Back and spinal injuries leading to long recovery times
- Psychological injuries such as anxiety, PTSD, or stress after an accident
- Soft tissue injuries that cause ongoing pain or reduced mobility
No matter how small an injury seems at first, if it affects your life or finances, it is worth seeking legal advice.
How is compensation calculated?
Compensation depends on:
- The severity of your injury
- The length of your recovery and any long-term effects
- Loss of earnings or career impact
- Medical treatment and rehabilitation costs

Marley Solicitors will review every detail of your case and provide an honest estimate of what you might receive.
