What Are Leg Injury Claims?
Leg injury claims let you seek compensation if another party’s negligence caused your leg injury. Incidents at work, road traffic accidents on routes like the A56, slips in public venues such as Manchester Arndale, and medical negligence in hospitals like North Manchester General may all give rise to eligible claims. Entitlement to compensation usually depends on proving that another person or organisation breached their legal duty of care, directly causing your leg injury.
If your case is suitable, and you decide to work with us, you’ll benefit from support at every step when working with our personal injury solicitors. Our team will:
Assess if you meet leg injury claim eligibility.
Collect evidence such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements
Represent you when negotiating with insurers and defendants
Guide you with legal advice tailored to your unique situation
Claiming compensation could help with costs like lost earnings or rehabilitation. If you believe you may be owed leg injury compensation, get in touch today and ask our team will review your case for free.
Common Accidents That Might Lead To A Leg Injury Claim
Certain accidents tend to cause the most leg injury claims in Manchester, including:
Workplace incidents: Falls from height on building sites, accidents involving workplace vehicles, or injuries from heavy machinery on industrial estates can frequently lead to compensation claims. If an employer failed to follow safety regulations such as the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, you could have grounds for a claim.
Road traffic accidents: Collisions involving vehicles, or incidents involving pedestrians and cyclists, often result in serious leg injuries. If another road user’s actions led to your injury, you may be eligible to seek damages.
Slips, trips, and falls: Supermarkets, shopping centres, and public venues are common sites for accidents caused by wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly maintained steps, all of which can lead to a broken leg or other similar injuries.
Sports and leisure injuries: Football incidents at venues, gym accidents related to faulty equipment, or poor maintenance can also result in valid claims.
Medical negligence: Missed fractures, surgical errors, or incorrect treatment at facilities such as Manchester Royal Infirmary might entitle you to claim if they worsened your leg injury.
Even if we haven’t described the accident that caused your leg injury, please don’t hesitate to call. So long as your case meets the eligibility criteria set out in the next section, we could help you claim the compensation you deserve.
Eligibility Criteria For Leg Injury Claims
Eligibility for leg injury compensation claims depends on several factors linked to negligence. You may claim if you can show that:
Another party owed you a duty of care, for example, an employer, driver or local authority
That party breached this duty, such as failing to follow the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 or not maintaining safe public spaces
The breach directly caused your leg injury, like fractures, tendon damage, or severe sprains, for example.
If you’re unsure whether you might have grounds to claim for leg injury, don’t worry. Our team offers a free consultation to help you understand your options. So, why not give us a call today?

How The Leg Injury Claim Process Works
While all claims are unique, in practice, this is how a solicitor from our team might manage your leg injury claim:
Assess your eligibility for a leg injury claim with an expert solicitor.
Gather and organise supporting evidence, including medical reports and witness statements.
Submit your claim and correspond with the responsible party or their insurers.
Negotiate a settlement to ensure you receive fair compensation.
Represent you in court if a settlement cannot be achieved (though this only happens in a very small number of claims).
What Evidence Will I Need?
To support your leg injury compensation claim, you’ll need clear evidence linking your injury to another party’s negligence. Evidence types include:
Medical records: These will show the extent of your leg injury, any treatment you’ve received at hospitals in Manchester such as Manchester Royal Infirmary, and the ongoing impact. Our solicitors will help you obtain expert medical assessments.
Accident reports: For workplace accidents or incidents at public venues, accident logs support your claim. Our team will secure copies directly from employers, venues, or authorities.
Photographic evidence: Photos of the accident scene injuries, or hazards provide strong, visible proof of what happened.
Witness statements: Testimony from those who saw the incident, such as colleagues or passers-by, can confirm details. We’ll contact witnesses and organise clear, reliable statements.
Financial documentation: Records of medical bills, lost wages, or additional expenses illustrate your losses. Our solicitors will assist in gathering and presenting these details.
You do not need to have all of this evidence already to contact our team about your claim. If your case is suitable, and you decide to proceed, your solicitor may seek out any additional information needed as part of their service.
How Long Do I Have To Start A Leg Injury Compensation Claim?
You’re entitled to start a leg injury compensation claim within three years of the date of your injury or from when you first became aware it was linked to someone else’s negligence. This limitation period applies to most personal injury claims in the UK under the Limitation Act 1980.
You’ll find there are key exceptions:
Children: The three-year period starts on their 18th birthday, providing extra time for claims because an adult can claim on the child’s behalf before then at any point.
Adults lacking mental capacity: No time limit applies while the individual lacks capacity, ensuring their right to claim remains open.
If you’d like us to confirm how long you have to start a leg injury claim, please get in touch today.
What Compensation For A Leg Injury Might Cover
Any compensation you’re awarded in a leg injury claim should cover physical and emotional suffering, plus financial losses. Importantly, future losses should also be considered.
Typical leg injury compensation covers:
Pain and suffering: Awards for physical pain and lasting discomfort.
Medical expenses: Cost of treatments, surgery, rehabilitation or mobility aids.
Lost earnings: Past and future income lost if you can’t work, plus missed bonuses or promotions.
Care costs: Help received from others, either paid or unpaid, following your injury.
Travel expenses: Costs for medical visits at places like Manchester Royal Infirmary, or other out-of-pocket travel linked to your injury.
