Help! No Win No Fee Solicitors

Hi, Can anyone give me some advice please. 2 weeks ago someone went into the back of my car, actually she wasn't looking and was accelerating when she hit me. Tesco is saying my car is not economically viable to fix. My main concern is every since the accident (and its getting worse) I find it very hard to drive. I am constantly looking in my mirror and when I see someone coming up fast behind me I pull off the road. I am now leaving for work at 6am to avoid busy traffic and staying at work til 8.30 to avoid rush hour. This is having a huge impact on me and making me very depressed. I do have some whiplash but thats nothing compared to the psychological problems Im having. Can anyone recommend a personal injury lawyer. I think therapy would help but its expensive and I dont have legal insurance on my policy. It seems to be a mindfield out there with all the no win no fee adverts and I was just wondering if anyone had experience of any specific good lawyer? Thanks

If driving is really causing you so much anguish and distress, perhaps it's better to catch the bus or get a lift etc.

All the no win no fee people are probably the same. They work by only accepting cases they know will win, then as well as getting you your costs they claim their costs as well which makes them lots of money.

that would be an option I agree but most days Im lugging crates of work (marking) around with me.

Hi,

Have you checked if your policy covers consequences of accidents such as counselling?

My advice would be to get counselling regardless of your insurance status as this is impacting on your life, work and financial situation and worry about the legal aspect later. Get yourself fixed first.

Speaking as someone who has come through the tunnel of depression brought on by work stress and is out the other side, but +£10k as a result.
