Specialist Motorcycle Accident Solicitors in Manchester
Motorcyclists are the most vulnerable road users in the UK. Yet they often face an unfair bias from insurers and the courts. If you are involved in a collision, the default assumption is often that you were speeding or riding recklessly. At WE Solicitors, we are riders ourselves or work closely with the biking community. We know that the vast majority of accidents are caused by other drivers failing to look properly.
Our Manchester-based team specialises in overcoming these prejudices. We understand the physics of riding. We know that “filtering” is a legal manoeuvre. We use this knowledge to fight for your right to compensation. We also recognise that biker injuries are rarely minor. We focus on securing early interim payments to fund private rehabilitation, high-quality prosthetics, and lightweight wheelchairs to help you regain your independence.

Filtering and Liability Disputes
The most common dispute we handle is liability when a rider is “filtering” past stationary or slow-moving traffic. Insurers often try to apply a “split liability” settlement (often 50/50). They argue the rider contributed to the accident. We vigorously challenge this.
We rely on the updated Highway Code Hierarchy of Road Users. This places a greater duty of care on car and lorry drivers to watch out for motorcyclists. We use helmet cam footage, CCTV, and forensic collision reconstruction to prove you were riding safely. We establish that the driver failed in their duty to check their mirrors or blind spots before changing lanes or turning.
