\"\"One of the questions that sometimes crops up here at The Injury Lawyers<\/a> relates to claims against uninsured drivers.\u00a0 The usual course of action in a road traffic accident<\/a> is to pursue the insurer of the negligent third party driver who has caused your injuries.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

In most cases the other driver will have insurance and it really is a simple process of submitting a claim form online and receiving their admission of liability within a couple of weeks.\u00a0 But what happens if the other driver is not insured?<\/strong>\u00a0 Well you could pursue the other driver themselves personally, but in the vast majority of cases they will not be worth suing (in other words, they do not have enough money to recompense you).\u00a0 Instead, what you can do is make a claim through the Motor Insurers\u2019 Bureau (\u2018MIB\u2019)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In 1946 the MIB was set up to provide compensation<\/a> for those who have been injured by the negligence of an uninsured third party driver.\u00a0 Instead of saying that they cannot be compensated because the other driver broke the law and drove with insurance, the MIB can dip into their compensation fund and pay out for your vehicle damages and injuries.\u00a0 The reason they can do this is because each year every motorist contributes roughly \u00a330 through their insurance premium to set up this fund<\/strong>.\u00a0 Although you may not like the sound of that, at the end of the day, one day it could be you that requires this fund.\u00a0 In fact, each year over 50,000 people are compensated by the MIB<\/strong>.
\n
\nMaking a claim for compensation through the MIB is quite straightforward but I would suggest that it is best to get an injury lawyer who will work for you on your side<\/strong> on a Genuine No Win, No Fee<\/a> agreement. This means you will keep 100% of the compensation you deserve<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
