How you can make a claim:
Most people believe that when you are in this position -
there is nowhere to turn to and no one to help you pursue a justified case
for compensation.
Fortunately, there is still a way
that you can secure rightful compensation. The
MOTOR
INSURERS BUREAU (or MIB) is a non-profit organisation that
was set up and is
funded by UK insurers specifically for the purpose of
helping
accident victims in this position.
The MIB also deal with
uninsured driver claims. It is now possible to claim
both personal injury compensation and property damage
under the MIB hit and run accident scheme (known as the
Untraced Drivers Agreement) subject to some
restrictions.
MIB UPDATE:
MIB explained - more information about handling hit
and run or uninsured claims
Child
victims of hit and run drivers now have until their 21st
birthday to bring a claim. This brings them in line with
the standard civil procedure set out in the Limitation
Act 1980. The case of Byrne v (1) MIB & (2)
Secretary of State for Transport [2008] refers.
We are specialists in MIB claims and
can help you claim damages that you perhaps thought
would otherwise be impossible to claim. It is important
that you involve the police and properly report the
accident to them. In the majority of cases, the police
will be unable to do very much because of a lack of
evidence but nevertheless the MIB insist on a police
record of the event. Please be aware that the one
drawback in dealing with the MIB under the Untraced
Agreement is that they do not pay your legal fees - they
merely make a contribution towards them. For this reason
we charge a fee equal to 25% of any compensation awarded
in order to deal with a hit & run case.
Don't be the victim twice over
- if you have been involved in an accident where the
responsible driver failed to stop - claim what is
rightfully yours. Call our FREE legal careline now on
