\"\"If you have been unfortunate enough to have been involved in a road traffic accident<\/a> and have sustained an injury as a result, you may be entitled to compensation<\/a>.\u00a0 Importantly, this is still the case even where the other driver is uninsured<\/em><\/strong> or where the other driver is \u2018untraced<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 – that is where he or she has driven off without providing you with their details.\u00a0 So, if you are one of around 23,000 people a year<\/strong> who are injured as a result of a road traffic accident <\/a>with an uninsured or untraced driver, please do get in touch with a professional injury lawyer<\/strong> who will do their utmost to obtain the maximum compensation you may deserve.<\/p>\n

At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we understand that those who have been involved in a road accident may find themselves extremely frustrated by the thought that the other driver may have \u2018got away with it<\/em><\/strong>\u2019.\u00a0 After all, they either have no insurance and would seemingly be unable to compensate you for your injuries<\/strong>, or they have fled the scene and left you with no one to obtain compensation from<\/strong>.\u00a0 However, this is where an expert lawyer is able to properly advise you and progress your claim for compensation<\/a> through the Motor Insurers\u2019 Bureau (\u2018MIB\u2019).\u00a0 Founded in 1946, the MIB is funded by you through your insurance premiums.\u00a0 Around \u00a315-30 of your insurance policy goes to the MIB who are then able to compensate victims of uninsured and untraced drives.\u00a0 In 2008 over 60,000 claims for compensation were settled through the MIB<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you have been involved in a road traffic collision<\/a> involving an uninsured or untraced driver and you have suffered injury and loss through no fault of your own, it is key that you get in touch with an experienced injury lawyer<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 They will be able to give you the advice you require and take you through the process of submitting a claim through the MIB which will involve your lawyers submitting a claim form on your behalf.\u00a0 Importantly though, you should seek any necessary medical attention for your injuries, make sure that your accident is reported to the police, and see if you can get hold of any witness details.\u00a0 This is important to ensure your well-being and to assist in efficiently progressing of your claim with the MIB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
