The Government is working closely with a broad group of expert stakeholders to develop a new accessible IT Service. This will support and enable both represented and unrepresented claimants to progress Road Traffic Accident related personal injury claims under the new small claims track limit of £5,000. The new service will enable claimants who can demonstrate a loss, to claim for special damages and vehicle related damages they have paid for themselves, as long as the total value of the claim does not exceed the upper limit of the small claims track.
