You are going to struggle to find a solicitor to deal with a claim without injury unless you are agreing to pay their costs in full. The reason is that a property damage claim needs to be over £5k for them to recover costs from the other party. Whereas an injury claim only needs to be over £1k, which most are.

You are going to be looking at £100plus an hour if you want to instruct someone on a private basis and these costs are not re-claimable from the responsible party.

Do you not have legal expenses cover on you insurance policy?
