Brake
If someone you love has been killed or seriously injured in a road crash, the charity Brake is here to help. They provide emotional and practical support, and can help you during your darkest and most difficult times.
First, they’ll talk to you to find out what’s happened and what support you need. They can help you with practical challenges and help you understand the complex, unfamiliar procedures that often follow a road crash. You can talk to them if you’re worried about money or a court case, or how to find legal support.
They 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, they’re there to talk. They promise to listen to you, and provide a safe space for you to talk about your feelings.
Brake’s National Road Victim Service is there for you, from day one, for as long as you need them.
To get help from Brake after a road crash, call 0808 8000 401 or email [email protected].
