\"\"If you have been injured in a road traffic accident<\/a> and you are to obtain compensation, this will in almost every instance be provided by the negligent drivers\u2019 insurance company<\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

This is one of the reasons why it is compulsory to have motor insurance; if something does go wrong, it can be sorted out as quickly as possible.\u00a0 Unfortunately though, there are over 1 million drivers in the UK who drive illegally without insurance<\/strong>.\u00a0 So – what happens if you are injured in an accident caused by an uninsured driver?\u00a0 Where would you get your compensation from?<\/p>\n

Obviously it won\u2019t be from their insurer \u2013 so, does the negligent driver themselves have to compensate you? Well that is a possibility, but it is unlikely because they probably don\u2019t have the money to pay out.\u00a0 Ok, so does that mean they get away with it, and an injured victim cannot be compensated? Fortunately not!\u00a0 This is where the Motor Insurers\u2019 Bureau<\/strong> (\u2018MIB\u2019) can step in.
\n
\nSo long as you report your accident with the police as soon as possible after it happening, you can make a claim for compensation<\/a> from the MIB.\u00a0 The MIB was set up back in 1946 to provide compensation for the innocent victims of uninsured drivers\u2019 negligence. \u00a0What this means is that there is a compensation fund, in which all insured drivers contribute roughly \u00a315 to \u00a330 each year, so injured victims can be compensated.\u00a0 All you have to do is fill out a claim form with the MIB and they will assess your claim and sort you out with compensation.\u00a0 Don\u2019t worry if you are unsure as to how to do this, because with the right injury lawyer on your side, they can do all the work for you.<\/p>\n

At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we have not only successfully obtained compensation for numerous people who have been involved in road traffic accidents with insured drivers, but we have also made sure that we have got numerous clients compensation from the MIB where they have been the victim of uninsured drivers\u2019 negligence.\u00a0 If you want to pursue a claim for compensation, get in touch today<\/strong> and we will be happy to assess your claim and provide you with some great free advice<\/strong>.\u00a0 If we can help you out we will let you know and can get the ball rolling on your claim straightaway!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
