Uninsured & Untraced Drivers
If you have been involved in a motor accident, you may be able to make a personal injury claim for compensation. Call now on 0800 3213 3239 for a no obligation chat with one of our solicitors.
Road traffic accident compensation claims usually involve a claim for compensation for injury (both physical and psychological) together with a claim for the repairs to the vehicle, recovery of the insurance excess or a claim for the vehicle being written off. In addition loss of earnings for the time the injured person spends off work and other expenses such as travel costs, hire car charges and medical bill can also be recovered.
In the case of more serious injures there can be compensation claims for future losses also if they cannot return to their job due to the nature of the injury they have suffered or they can only work reduced hours.
The effects of such accidents can be far reaching for the injured person and their family.
(MIB) is an organisation set up by the Government to award compensation where a Road Traffic Accident occurs and the party at fault is either uninsured or cannot be traced, such as hit and run accidents.
The scheme is paid for from a percentage of the insurance premiums of people who are insured and it offers the only way to proceed in most of these types of cases as even if the offending driver can be found they are often not in a financial position where suing them direct would be worthwhile You must ensure that the matter is reported to the police immediately as this may affect your ability to claim through the MIB.
