Personal Injury Claims in Wigan: How We Help
Wigan is the largest borough in Greater Manchester by area and the only one crossed by the M6. That brings a high volume of lorry traffic, along with large warehouses near the motorway junctions and long stretches of fast A road. We handle road, workplace and public place claims across the borough, as well as fatal accident claims for bereaved families.
M6 and HGV collisions
The M6 runs north to south through the borough, with junctions 25, 26 and 27 serving Wigan, Orrell and Standish, and the M58 joins at junction 26. Collisions with HGVs often cause more serious injuries because of the size and weight involved. Where a lorry was involved, we request tachograph and telematics data, driver hours records and the operator’s maintenance logs, as well as police reports. The A580 East Lancashire Road through Golborne, Lowton and Astley, and the A49 and A577, also see frequent serious collisions.
Fatal accident claims
When someone dies because of another person’s negligence, the family can claim under the Fatal Accidents Act 1976. Dependants can claim for lost financial support and services, and a spouse, civil partner, cohabiting partner of at least two years or the parents of an unmarried child under 18 can claim a fixed bereavement award. The estate can also claim for the person’s own losses before death under the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1934, along with funeral costs. We handle these claims with care, explain each step, and can represent the family at the inquest.
Warehousing near the motorway
The distribution parks around junctions 25 and 26 of the M6, and industrial areas in Leigh and Ince, employ large numbers of warehouse and transport staff. Forklift accidents, falls from loading bays and lifting injuries are the most common workplace claims we see from the borough.

The Royal Albert Edward Infirmary on Wigan Lane treats most seriously injured people from the borough, with Leigh Infirmary providing other services. Our office is at Peter House in Manchester, but most Wigan clients deal with us entirely by phone and video call.

Accident at Work Claims in Wigan
Wigan borough’s workforce includes warehouse and transport staff near the M6, manufacturing in Ince, Leigh and Hindley, and food production and packaging. Forklift and pallet truck accidents, falls from loading bays, machinery injuries and lifting injuries are common. Your employer’s Employers’ Liability insurer pays any compensation, and it is unlawful to dismiss you for claiming.
Slips, Trips and Falls in Wigan
Trips on uneven paving in Wigan and Leigh town centres, falls in supermarkets and shopping centres such as the Grand Arcade, and trips on poorly maintained paths in parks and estates are typical claims. Wigan Council is the highway authority for most public roads and pavements. Photograph the defect showing its depth and its exact location.
Car Accident Claims in Wigan
We handle car accident claims from the M6, the M58, the A580 East Lancashire Road, the A49 and the A577. HGV and motorway collisions often need specialist evidence such as tachograph data, which we request early. We deal with the other driver’s insurer and claim for every loss, including vehicle damage, care and lost earnings.
Cyclist, Motorcyclist and Pedestrian Claims in Wigan
The Leigh Guided Busway route, the canal towpaths and the busy A roads into Wigan are used by cyclists and pedestrians, and the A580 and rural roads around Standish and Shevington are popular with motorcyclists. These claims are outside the Official Injury Claim portal and follow the full process, with legal costs recovered from the other side.
Personal Injury Claims in Wigan: Frequently Asked Questions
Below, you can find answers to some frequently asked questions about working with personal injury solicitors for Wigan
My relative died in an accident in Wigan. Can the family claim?
Yes. Dependants can claim for lost financial support and services under the Fatal Accidents Act 1976, and certain relatives can claim a bereavement award. The estate can also recover funeral costs. We handle these claims sensitively and can help with the inquest.
I was hit by a lorry on the M6. Is that claim different?
The process is the same, but the evidence is wider. We request tachograph and telematics data, driver hours and maintenance records from the haulage company, which can show speeding, fatigue or a vehicle defect.
I was treated at Wigan Infirmary. Do you need my records?
Yes. With your consent we request records from the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary and any other hospital, GP or physiotherapist who treated you.
How long do I have to make a claim?
Usually three years from the accident. In fatal accident claims, it is usually three years from the date of death or of the family learning the cause. For children, the three years start at 18.
