General information

Service offered: If someone you love has been killed or seriously injured in a road crash, the charity Brake is here to help. Brake’s National Road Victim Service is a free, specialist support service for anyone who has been bereaved or seriously injured following a road crash. We provide emotional and practical support, and we can help you during your darkest and most difficult times. First, we’ll talk to you, to find out what’s happened and what support you need. We can help you with practical challenges and help you understand the complex, unfamiliar procedures that often follow a road crash. You can talk to us if you’re worried about money or a court case, or how to find legal support. We can also help you support children affected by the crash or tell other people what has happened. If you’re finding it difficult to cope, we’re here to talk. We promise to listen to you and provide a safe space for you to talk about your feelings. To get help from Brake after a road crash, call 0808 8000 401 or email help@brake.org.uk. Or go to www.brake.org.uk/support and fill out our simple referral form.
