In general, you can always instruct a personal injury solicitor to help you, but things get a bit more complicated when it comes to funding. If your accident was on or after 31st May 2021, and you suffered whiplash injuries whilst you were inside a vehicle (either as a driver or passenger), your claim will have to go through the Official Injury Claim portal. This process does not allow any legal fees to be recovered as part of your claim, effectively giving you the choice of going without legal support, or paying for it yourself. Unfortunately, because injury compensation awards are also lower within the Official Injury Claim process, paying for legal support yourself would almost certainly leave you worse-off financially. More on these reforms to whiplash claims can be found in our guide and FAQ.
If the above does not apply to your situation, for example, if you suffered more serious injuries or you were injured whilst riding a bike or motorcycle, you can avoid the Official Injury Claim process and Truth Legal can likely offer to help you through a No Win, No Fee Agreement.
