Untraced and Uninsured Accident Claims

If you have been unfortunate enough to have been involved in a road traffic accident, and you have been injured through no fault of your own, but it has turned out that the negligent third party driver either has no insurance, or has driven off without providing you with his /her details, you can still make a claim for compensation!  You might think that, because the negligent third party driver has no insurance, they are not worth suing; or, because he / she has fled from the scene of the accident, you do not know who to sue, and so you have no means of recourse for your injuries.

This, however, is not the case. Thanks to an organisation called the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (‘MIB’), under these circumstances, you can make a successful claim for compensation from them directly.  The MIB was set up to counter the problem of uninsured and untraced road accidents.  It simply would be unjust if you had been injured due to a negligent third party’s wrongful actions in not being insured, or from fleeing the scene of an accident, and you were unable to get any compensation.  Each year, the MIB helps out nearly 25,000 people who have been injured by the negligent actions of an uninsured or untraced driver.

If you have been involved in a road traffic accident in which you were not entirely to blame, and you have sustained an injury as a result, you can make a claim for compensation.  The best thing you could do is contact a quality injury lawyer who specialises in road traffic accident claims, with particular experience in progressing claims through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau.  At The Injury Lawyers, we have been instructed on numerous cases involving the MIB, and know exactly how it works – so why not give us a call today to see if you have a potential claim for compensation?

Each year drivers across the United Kingdom pay around £15-30 to the MIB through their insurance policies.  It is in this way that the MIB are able to pay people compensation where they have a successful claim and have been injured at the hands of a negligent uninsured or untraced driver.  The MIB provides compensation to thousands of people each year.  All you have to do is fill out a questionnaire with the help of your instructed injury lawyer, and let them do the rest.

At The Injury Lawyers, we work on a genuine no win, no fee agreement, which means we undertake all our work at no cost to you.  We have vast experience in this area of law, and would be more than happy to provide you with some initial free legal advice, or take on your claim should we consider that it has good prospects of success.  Naturally, the best thing you can do at first if you have been injured is to seek medical attention – but once you are on the road to recovery, why not get someone on your side who knows what they are doing, and will fight tooth and nail to get you the maximum compensation you deserve?
