\"\"At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we are experts in the field of personal injury law having dealt with thousands of personal injury claims<\/a> over many years.
\nIn particular we deal with an enormous amount of road traffic accident<\/a> claims where our clients have been injured as a result of the negligence of a third party driver.<\/p>\n

In 99 out of 100 cases the Defendant driver will be insured, so it is straightforward to make the claim for compensation<\/a> as their insurer will pay your damages.\u00a0 Unfortunately, there are cases every so often where the Defendant was uninsured.\u00a0 If that\u2019s the case, how do you get your compensation?<\/p>\n

In most cases the actual driver will not be worth suing unless they have some financial assets in to claim from.\u00a0 Does that mean you are to be left uncompensated for your injuries because the other driver has no insurance? No<\/strong>, and here is a quick guide as to why.
\n
\nBack in 1946 an organisation called the Motor Insurers\u2019 Bureau<\/strong> (or \u2018MIB\u2019) was set up to compensate the innocent victims of uninsured drivers\u2019 negligence.\u00a0 You have to admit, it would be pretty unfair if a Defendant was able to get away from compensating you for your injuries because they had committed the criminal offence of driving without insurance.\u00a0 What happens then is that when we all pay our car insurance, about \u00a330 of that goes into the MIB compensation fund.\u00a0 So if you are later hit and injured by an uninsured driver, you can then make a claim from this MIB compensation fund to be compensated<\/strong> \u2013 and it doesn\u2019t have any effect on your own insurance whatsoever<\/strong>.\u00a0 Every year over 50,000 are compensated through this fund.\u00a0 Though we hope it does not happen to you, it could be you one day claiming from this fund.<\/p>\n

So, how do you go about making a claim for compensation through the MIB?\u00a0 At The Injury Lawyers we would suggest that you contact an expert injury lawyer who has experience in dealing with MIB claims<\/strong>.\u00a0 Make sure that the injury lawyer you choose works on a genuine no win, no fee<\/a> basis which means that you will not get charged for their work meaning that you get to keep 100% of your compensation.\u00a0 An injury lawyer will then be able to do the work for you, guide you through the process and make sure all is run smoothly.<\/p>\n

If you have been injured by an uninsured driver and wish to make a claim for compensation for the injuries you suffered as a result, why not get in touch<\/a> with us at The Injury Lawyers today where we will be more than happy to assist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
