Claims involving Uninsured or Untraced Drivers

Cases dealt with by MIB vary slightly from those handled by the courts or an insurance company, in that there tends to be fairly rigid parameters around the amount of compensation a claimant is likely to receive. Whilst cases like this can be fought on a no win no fee basis, there is a chance some of any compensation awarded might have to be used to cover legal fees. When you consider this alongside the fact the MIB has an excess figure of £350, it’s clear that cases not involving personal injury, or damage equating less than £1000, probably aren’t worth pursuing with the aid of a solicitor. An injury lawyer will give you a totally honest appraisal, and will only persue your case if they genuinely feel doing so is in your own best interests.

Whilst the technicalities of cases involving uninsured or untraced drivers may differ slightly from those of other cases, the basic principles are exactly the same. If you’ve been injured and it was your own fault, the only thing to do is pick yourself up and try and learn a lesson. If, on the other hand, another party’s negligence was to blame for your suffering, you’ve got every right to receive compensation. Not only will such reimburse you for immediate expenses such as medical bills and travel costs, but the awarded sum will also include an amount based on the type, and severity, of your injuries. The degree to which you’ve suffered will also be considered.

No amount of money can truly make up for pain and suffering, but compensation can help you to put your life back on track, and might go some way towards restoring your sense of justice and fairness.
