The Motor Insurers Bureau
The other driver was not insured - can I still claim?
The other driver drove off and I have no details - can I claim?
Some people believe that if you are involved in an accident with an uninsured motorist and sustain personal injury, that you may not be able to make a claim for personal injury. This is not the case.
The Motor Insurers Bureau consider personal injury claims against uninsured drivers and if your claim is accepted by the Motor Insurers Bureau compensation can be obtained from them. Brearley’s solicitors with their wealth of expertise in this area can assist you with the process by making the claim for you against the Motor Insurers Bureau and provide you with free legal assistance in doing so.
There is a compulsory requirement for all drivers of motor vehicles to be covered for third party liability. It is in fact the only form of insurance that is a mandatory requirement and it is the individual drivers responsibility to obtain the necessary cover.
Uninsured drivers impose a financial burden on honest motorists. The damage they inflict in road traffic accidents results in claims against the Motor Insurers Bureau or against the policies of insured’s drivers. Industry estimates suggest this adds around £30.00 on average to the annual premium of honest motorists.
