What if you are injured in a road traffic accident and the other driver is not insured?

In claims for compensation where the responsible driver is not insured, the claim would be submitted to a government funded body known as the Motor Insurers Bureau ("MIB"). The MIB would deal with the compensation claim under the Uninsured Drivers' Agreement.

A claim form would have to be completed and lodged with the MIB and upon receipt, they would investigate the claim for compensation and once the issue of liability was resolved, Grieves would then look into valuing your claim in the same way as set out above.

Your legal costs would be paid by the MIB on top of your compensation and those costs would be recoverable from the responsible driver directly. It should be noted that an excess of £300 is payable so where you are claiming for property damage, i.e. vehicle damage, the MIB would not be responsible for the first £300.

At Grieves Solicitors we have a dedicated team of personal injury lawyers who will do their best to obtain the compensation you deserve. If you need any advice on how to go about making a claim call us FREE on 0870 074 7644 or complete an online claim form.
