Paying for legal action

Legal action for compensation for a personal injury can be expensive. You may be able to get help with legal costs from, for example:-

• a solicitor or organisation providing legal aid
• For more information about legal aid, see Help with legal costs.
• a conditional fee agreement (see below)
• a trade union or other membership organisation such as the AA or RAC
• an insurance policy. Many house contents policies, car insurance or travel insurance policies have legal expenses cover attached.
