Claims Involving Uninsured Drivers

Get In Touch Today

Drivers are legally required to have valid insurance policies for any car they own, and when uninsured drivers are involved in car accidents, they can face criminal charges. However, you can still claim compensation for your damages and personal injuries. You claim will be paid out by an organisation called the Motor Insurers’ Bureau, which is funded by the major insurance companies.  Some people have car insurance policies that offer uninsured driver cover, which will also pay out in the event of a claim involving an uninsured driver.

When you discover that the other driver was uninsured, or if they are untraceable, you should still do all that you would in a normal car accident. Try to gather as much information as you can, including the other vehicle’s registration number and the driver’s name and contact information. Then have yourself checked up to ensure you have not sustained any personal injuries. You should call the police following every road traffic accident – do not be dissuaded from doing so because the other driver is uninsured.

If the other driver speeds off, you do not have to chase after them – you can still make a compensation claim without their details. Be sure to inform the police that you have been in a hit and run collision.
