Brake (National Road Victim Service)
If someone you love has been killed or injured in a road crash, or you were bereaved or injured yourself, you can talk to Brake's free service about what happened and what support you need. They help with practical challenges, the unfamiliar procedures that follow a road crash, worries about money or a court case, and how to find legal support.
Good to know
You can use the self-referral form, call or email help@brake.org.uk. Because of high demand, their page gives a current response time of 10 working days. If you need to talk before then, the Samaritans are on 116 123 at any hour. They do not replace emergency, police or health services: in an emergency call 999.
