You may be entitled to Public Funding to claim compensation for your accident.
Litigation can be very expensive.
The costs can include your solicitor's fees, barrister's fees, court fees, fees for experts etc. If your opponent agrees to pay your costs or is ordered to pay by the court you may not have to repay your legal costs. You will have to repay this shortfall to your solicitor. You may be able to get other people to help pay for your case, such as your union if you are a member. Also if you have legal expenses insurance find out if this will cover the cost of your case.
