Hit And Run Victims: Making an MIB Claim
Being involved in a road crash is stressful enough, but it can feel even worse if the driver responsible is uninsured or can’t be found, like in a hit-and-run. That’s where the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) comes in. The MIB helps people in these situations get the support and compensation they need, even if the other driver isn’t insured or can’t be identified.
What Does the MIB Do?
The MIB supports victims of accidents caused by uninsured or untraceable drivers. They work to ensure you’re not left to deal with the financial and emotional impact on your own.
Here’s how the MIB can help:
1. Claims for Accidents with Uninsured Drivers
If the driver responsible for the crash doesn’t have car insurance, the MIB can process your claim and help cover costs like:
- Repairs to your vehicle.
- Medical expenses.
- Compensation for injuries.
2. Compensation for Hit-and-Run Accidents
If the driver responsible can’t be found (for example, in a hit-and-run), the MIB can still provide compensation to help cover your losses.
3. Support for Serious Injuries
For victims who suffer life-changing injuries because of an uninsured or untraceable driver, the MIB ensures financial support is available to help you rebuild your life.
4. Reducing Uninsured Driving
The MIB also works to tackle uninsured driving across the UK by working with law enforcement and other agencies. This helps make roads safer for everyone.
