Serious injury claims are a type of personal injury case that allows you to seek compensation when a life‑changing injury has been caused by another party’s negligence. These claims often involve complex medical evidence and significant financial losses, which is why specialist legal advice is so important. In Northenden, with its busy road networks, local businesses, and community facilities, accidents resulting in serious injuries are unfortunately not unheard of.
Marley Solicitors has helped many clients in Northenden and across Greater Manchester pursue fair compensation. Whether you have been injured in a collision on Palatine Road, hurt in a workplace accident at a local warehouse, or affected by medical negligence, understanding your rights is the first step to recovery.
What is a serious injury claim?
A serious injury claim is the legal process of seeking compensation for injuries that have a long‑term or permanent impact on your life. These injuries can include:
- Spinal injuries causing mobility problems or paralysis
- Severe brain injuries with lasting symptoms
- Amputations or loss of limb function
- Life‑changing burns, scarring, or sensory loss
If your accident happened because of someone else’s failure to meet their duty of care, you may be entitled to bring a claim.

Local context and common causes in Northenden
Residents of Northenden often commute along busy routes like Palatine Road, where road traffic accidents occur. Industrial sites in nearby areas sometimes lack proper safety measures, and public facilities occasionally have maintenance issues that lead to falls or other injuries. Marley Solicitors understands these local risks and how to pursue accountability from the relevant parties.
What compensation can you claim?
Compensation for a serious injury is calculated based on both your suffering and your financial losses. Typical elements include:
- General damages for pain and reduced quality of life
- Special damages for loss of earnings and medical costs
- Care and assistance costs for help you need at home
- Future expenses such as therapy, specialist equipment, or adaptations
Because serious injuries often affect every aspect of daily living, these claims can be high in value. Marley Solicitors will work with medical experts and financial specialists to make sure every loss is properly included.
Time limits for making a claim
You generally have three years from the date of the accident to start your claim. If you were under 18 at the time of injury, the three-year period begins on your 18th birthday. In some cases where the effects were not immediately known, the clock starts from the date you became aware of the injury. Acting promptly is always advisable.
Building your case with medical evidence
A strong claim depends on clear medical evidence. Our team can help you gather:
- Records from local services such as Wythenshawe Hospital or nearby clinics
- Expert opinions on long‑term care needs
- Evidence of how your injuries impact your work, hobbies, and daily activities
This evidence is crucial when negotiating with insurers or presenting your case in court.
