Birmingham is the UK's second-largest city and the beating heart of the West Midlands - a region of 2.9 million residents, one of the country's largest industrial and automotive manufacturing sectors, an active HS2 construction programme reshaping the city centre, and a world-class level-1 major trauma centre at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. It also produces significant volumes of serious personal injury claims each year. Casibus connects injured people across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands with regulated personal injury specialists who understand the region's distinctive employment, infrastructure and medical landscape.

The types of Birmingham personal injury claim we handle
Road traffic accidents across the West Midlands
Birmingham sits at the centre of the UK motorway network - M5, M6, M40, M42, A38 and Aston Expressway. Spaghetti Junction (M6 J6) is one of Europe's most complex motorway interchanges and produces a consistent share of serious-injury incidents. Major-road congestion, rush-hour traffic and poor-weather motorway accidents dominate West Midlands RTA casualties. Our RTA coverage includes car accident claims, whiplash claims under the 2025 tariff, cycle accident claims, motorcycle accident claims, and pedestrian accident claims.
West Midlands Metro and bus claims
The West Midlands Metro (Wolverhampton–Birmingham–Centenary Square and the Eastside extension) is Britain's only city-centre-extending light-rail network outside Manchester. Passenger injuries follow the same framework as other tram services - see bus and coach accident claims for the common-carrier duty. National Express West Midlands buses are the dominant operator in the region; claims against them proceed as standard operator claims.
HS2 construction - a regional accident-risk context
HS2 is the largest construction project in the West Midlands since the original motorway network. The Birmingham interchange and Curzon Street stations, tunnelling works, and the associated contractor ecosystem (Balfour Beatty VINCI, Laing O'Rourke, Mace / Dragados, Kier Group) produce concentrated work-accident risk. We handle construction claims against HS2 Tier 1 contractors and their sub-contractors - see construction site accident claims.
Automotive manufacturing - JLR and the supply chain
Jaguar Land Rover operates its Solihull assembly plant (Range Rover, Defender) and Castle Bromwich plant, supported by a deep West Midlands automotive supply chain (engine plants, chassis, seating, electronics). Factory and machinery injuries in this sector are a recurring category. See factory accident claims.
Logistics and warehousing
The 'Golden Logistics Triangle' (Midlands motorway network) hosts massive distribution operations - Amazon (multiple sites), Hermes / Evri, DHL, XPO, DPD, Royal Mail. Forklift, crush, racking-collapse and manual handling claims follow. See warehouse accident claims.
Medical negligence - West Midlands NHS trusts
Major West Midlands NHS Trusts include University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (QEHB, Heartlands, Good Hope, Solihull), Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust, Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust, University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire, The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust, Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust. We handle clinical negligence claims across all specialties - see medical negligence. Birth injury claims at Birmingham Women's Hospital form a specific sub-category given the volume of births in the region.
Public liability across Birmingham
Slips and falls at Bullring & Grand Central, Mailbox, Resorts World, Birmingham Airport; pavement trips against West Midlands local authorities under Highways Act 1980; restaurant / takeaway food poisoning; assaults in the Broad Street / Digbeth / Edmund Street night-time economy. See slips, trips and falls, pavement accident claims, food poisoning claims, dog bite claims.
Industrial disease claims - the Black Country legacy
The Black Country - Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall, Wolverhampton - is historically Britain's heaviest manufacturing region. Asbestos-related disease, noise-induced hearing loss, HAVS and chemical-exposure claims from former steel, foundry, vehicle, chemical and engineering workers still emerge decades after exposure. Mesothelioma claims in particular remain a substantial category. See asbestos claims, industrial deafness, vibration white finger, dermatitis, and the broader industrial disease pillar.
Where your claim could end up - local courts
- Birmingham Civil and Family Justice Centre (Priory Courts, 33 Bull Street) - the principal civil court for the region.
Most claims settle without a hearing.
Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham - the regional major trauma centre
Serious injury in the West Midlands is routed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, operated by University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. QEHB is the region's Level 1 adult major trauma centre and hosts the UK's only NIHR Surgical Reconstruction and Microbiology Research Centre (SRMRC). Road traffic accidents account for the largest share of QEHB major-trauma admissions. Paediatric major trauma is centralised at Birmingham Children's Hospital. Air-transport comes via the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity; road transfers via the West Midlands Ambulance Service. Records from QEHB, BWC, Heartlands, WMAS and the air ambulance charity are often the foundation of a serious West Midlands injury claim.
