Changing car insurance while compensation claim is pending

Hi, I'm a newbie here!
Three years ago, I was involved in a non-fault MVA during which my car was written off. I pay for legal cover with my current policy and pursued an injury compensation claim which is still ongoing.
It's not just my shoulder that is still painful though - so is my insurance premium. It's galling to discover that despite the maximum NCB, my car insurance on a 2003 Ford Ka is more than premiums paid by much younger friends with less NCB and much newer vehicles (and actually more than what I paid for the car!). Sadly, the non-fault MVA equation has kicked in...
What I want to know is if I can switch my car insurance to another provider whilst the compensation claim is ongoing. I waded through the insurance booklet but I'm still unclear.
Grateful for any clarification.
Thanks
