\"\"At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we deal with all sorts of personal injury claims<\/a> on a daily basis.\u00a0 In the main they concern the innocent victims of the negligence of third party drivers.\u00a0 Road traffic accidents<\/a> are unfortunately a common occurrence – but when it comes to claiming compensation they are relatively straightforward matters and can be dealt with very quickly.\u00a0 In most cases you will be able to provide the third party\u2019s details and we can get the ball rolling on your claim straightaway.<\/p>\n

But what happens if the third party was uninsured, given that it is the third party\u2019s insurer that will normally be providing your compensation?<\/p>\n

Naturally you can still make a claim for compensation<\/a>; it is just that your compensation will be provided by the Motor Insurers\u2019 Bureau<\/strong> (\u2018MIB\u2019) and not the third party\u2019s insurer as they do not have one.\u00a0 It would simply be unfair if you were injured like anyone else but could not be compensated because the third party had committed the criminal act of driving with no insurance.\u00a0 That is why the MIB was set up in 1946 – to provide compensation to victims of uninsured drivers.
\n
\nWhat happens is that, when you pay your insurance premium, roughly \u00a330 goes towards the MIB compensation fund; so, should you ever have to make a claim from it, it is there to ensure you are compensated properly for your injuries.\u00a0 In fact, each year over 50,000 people are provided with compensation through this fund.<\/p>\n

If you are unsure about how to make a claim through the MIB; do not worry.\u00a0 Injury lawyers like ourselves are on hand to deal with your claim for you.\u00a0 Why not get in touch with us today on 0800 634 75 75<\/strong> to discuss your potential claim.\u00a0 We are on hand between 9am<\/strong> and 10pm<\/strong> weekdays and 9am<\/strong> and 5pm<\/strong> weekends to answer any of your queries.\u00a0 Make sure you ask us about the unique way in which we work \u2013 that is, that we won\u2019t charge you a penny for our work, our exceptional services levels, and our ability to provide you with \u2018no cost\u2019 medical treatment should you require it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
