\"\"At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we often come across individuals who have been involved in road traffic accidents.\u00a0 In the vast majority of cases they are able to provide some details for the negligent third party and we are able to progress their claim for compensation straightaway.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

But, what if you have been involved in a road traffic accident<\/a> whereby you have been injured through no fault of your own, but the other driver has no insurance?\u00a0 If the negligent third party had insurance you could claim compensation from them – but this uninsured drier may not be worth suing personally.\u00a0 Does this mean that you cannot make a claim for compensation?<\/p>\n

No.\u00a0 That would be unjust.\u00a0 It would be highly inappropriate if it were the case that your having no insurance meant that you did not have to pay someone you have injured any compensation.\u00a0 Instead, a claim for compensation<\/a> is pursued through the Motor Insurers\u2019 Bureau<\/strong>, more commonly known simply as the \u2018MIB<\/strong>\u2019.\u00a0 This compensation fund was set up in 1946 to provide compensation for those drivers who had been injured at the hands of an uninsured driver.\u00a0 So, even where the negligent third party has no insurance, you can still be compensated for your injuries; the only difference is that the money is coming from the MIB and not the negligent driver\u2019s insurers which it typically would.
\n
\nEach year, through your own insurance policy, you contribute around \u00a315 <\/strong>– \u00a330<\/strong> to the MIB compensation fund.\u00a0 This means that a person who has been injured through no fault of their own can be placed back in the position they would have been in had the accident not have occurred.\u00a0 You may think \u00a330 is a bit steep for something you won\u2019t use, but you just never know – it could well be you one day that would be grateful for this compensation being set up and funded by people like yourself.\u00a0 The MIB helps over 50,000 people each year.<\/p>\n

If you have been involved in an accident with an uninsured driver and have sustained injuries why not get in touch with us at The Injury Lawyers today for free and we will be able to go through the claims process and assess the prospects of your claim.\u00a0 We are experts in our field and would be more than happy to help you out at no cost to you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
