Greater Manchester is the UK's second-largest economic region - 2.9 million residents across 10 metropolitan boroughs, a construction boom that hasn't stopped since 2015, the country's largest light-rail network (Metrolink, now part of the Bee Network), and one of the busiest motorway interchanges in Europe. It also produces thousands of serious personal injury claims each year. Casibus connects injured people across Greater Manchester with regulated personal injury specialists who know the region - the courts, the trauma centres, the employers, the infrastructure, the local authorities.
Every case is run on a no win, no fee basis. The first consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.

The types of Manchester personal injury claim we handle
Road traffic accidents in Greater Manchester
The M60, M62, M56, M66, M602, M67 and the Mancunian Way form one of the densest motorway / major-road networks in the UK. TfGM publishes annual casualty data - the Greater Manchester Police road traffic casualty database - showing consistent serious-injury totals driven by junction congestion, motorway merges, and bad-weather incidents in winter. Our RTA claim coverage includes car accident claims, whiplash claims under the 2025 tariff, cycle accident claims (Manchester has one of the UK's most-developed cycle infrastructures but cyclist casualty numbers remain high), motorcycle accident claims, and pedestrian accident claims.
Metrolink and Bee Network
Metrolink is the UK's largest light-rail network and the defining feature of Greater Manchester transport. Incidents include tram-vehicle collisions at on-street junctions, tram-pedestrian incidents at stops, slips and falls on tram platforms, sudden-braking injuries, and door incidents. Claims against Metrolink (operated by KeolisAmey / RATP Dev) proceed on the same common-carrier duty framework as our bus and coach accident claims page. CCTV preservation is urgent.
Greater Manchester bus network
Under the Bee Network framework introduced from 2023, TfGM now franchises bus operation - meaning passenger claims are routed through TfGM alongside the contracted operator (Go-Ahead, First Manchester, Stagecoach). See bus and coach accident claims.
Work accident claims across Greater Manchester
The region's employment mix produces distinctive work-accident patterns:
- Construction - the central Manchester building boom (NOMA, Mayfield, Victoria North, St Michael's, New Islington, Deansgate Square, Old Trafford regeneration). See construction site accident claims.

Industrial disease claims
Greater Manchester's industrial heritage - textiles, engineering, chemical manufacturing, shipping at Salford Docks - still produces asbestos-related disease claims decades after exposure. Mesothelioma, asbestosis and pleural thickening cases are common in the region, often involving former workers at Salford docks, Trafford Park factories, or BAE Systems at Chadderton. See asbestos claims and the wider industrial disease pillar.
Where your claim could end up - local courts
Where settlement isn't possible, Greater Manchester personal injury claims are typically heard at:
- Manchester Civil Justice Centre (1 Bridge Street West, Manchester M60 9DJ) - the main civil court for the region; handles County Court and High Court claims.
Most claims settle without a hearing; fewer than 5% go to trial.
Greater Manchester's major trauma centres
Serious injuries in Greater Manchester are routed to one of two major trauma centres in the North West Major Trauma Network:
- Manchester Royal Infirmary (MRI) - Oxford Road, Manchester. Adult major trauma centre for central and south Manchester. Operated by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.
Paediatric major trauma for Greater Manchester is centralised at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital (Oxford Road campus). Air-lifted major trauma arrives via the North West Air Ambulance, and North West Ambulance Service handles road patient transfer. Records from these units - including the MFT and NCA hospital records, NWAS patient report forms, and air-ambulance handover documents - are often the foundation of a serious personal injury claim.
