Looking for an experienced personal injury solicitor in Trafford? Alexander James Solicitors act for clients across Trafford and the wider Greater Manchester area on the full range of personal injury matters. We act for individuals who have been injured in accidents that were not their fault — securing compensation for pain and suffering, loss of earnings, medical treatment and rehabilitation costs.
About our personal injury service
We handle road traffic accident claims, accidents at work, slips, trips and falls in public places, occupiers' liability, and claims arising from defective products. We also advise on more serious injury claims involving long-term care needs and loss of future earnings.
Most personal injury claims are handled on a no-win, no-fee basis, with deductions limited and explained clearly at the outset. Where the injury is minor, claims may be handled through the Official Injury Claim portal.
Strict limitation periods apply — usually three years from the date of the accident or from the date of knowledge of the injury — so early advice is essential.
