Uninsured and Untraced Driver Claims
What is the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB)?
The Motor Insurers’ Bureau is an organization funded by the insurance industry to compensate victims of accidents involving:
- Uninsured Drivers: Drivers who do not have valid motor insurance.
- Untraced Drivers: Drivers who leave the scene of the accident (hit-and-run cases) and cannot be identified.
If you have been injured or suffered financial losses due to an uninsured or untraced driver, you can submit a claim to the MIB. However, the process can be complex, and that’s where Advantage Solicitors can assist.
How Uninsured and Untraced Driver Claims Work
If the driver at fault for the accident does not have insurance, the MIB will step in to cover:
- Personal injury compensation.
- Property damage (in some circumstances, such as when personal injury also occurs).
How Uninsured and Untraced Driver Claims Work
If the at-fault driver flees the scene and cannot be identified, the MIB can provide compensation for: Injuries sustained in the accident and damage to property (if personal injury is involved).
Common Scenarios for Uninsured and Untraced Driver Claims:
- Hit-and-Run Accidents: Where the driver leaves the scene without providing details.
- Accidents with Uninsured Drivers: Where the at-fault driver cannot produce a valid insurance policy.
- Pedestrian or Cyclist Accidents: Involving untraced or uninsured drivers.
- Serious or Fatal Accidents: Where significant injury or loss has occurred, requiring compensation.
What to Do After an Accident
- Report the Accident: Notify the police as soon as possible and obtain a reference number.
- Seek Medical Attention: Prioritize your health and get treatment for any injuries.
- Gather Evidence: Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage.
