All road users owe a duty of care to one another and all drivers are governed by this standard of care when driving on public roads. If you have been injured in a road accident as the result of another driver’s failure to meet this standard then you may be entitled to make an accident compensation claim for damages.

Figures published by the Motor Insurers’ Bureau show that there are around 1.5 million uninsured drivers on UK roads, this means that each year thousands of people are injured in accidents caused by uninsured drivers. Many who are involved in an accident with an uninsured driver face a long battle to have their costs paid. Drivers who are left with unpaid costs can use the Motor Insurer’s Bureau to make an uninsured drivers compensation claim for damages.

The agreement is complex and subject to various provisions and exclusions. After proceedings are issued there are a number of deadlines which must be complied with and any failure to do so could mean that the Motor Insurers’ Bureau do not pay out on the claim. For this reason it is essential to obtain prompt specialist legal advice. There are also an increasing numbers of cases where uninsured drivers involved in such accidents fail to stop, meaning that the driver cannot be traced. In such cases uninsured drivers compensation claims can also be pursued using the Motor Insurers’ Bureau through a specialist solicitor.
