After a road traffic accident that results in injury, discovering that the other party doesn't have insurance shouldn't create further stress and complication for you at an already traumatic time. Our personal injury solicitors have a wide range of experience in dealing with road traffic accident compensation claims of all kinds, including claims against uninsured drivers, or even accidents involving stolen vehicles. Whether you were injured in an accident involving an uninsured driver as a pedestrian, cyclist, motorcyclist or driver, our road traffic accident lawyers could help you make a claim through the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB), an insurance industry-funded organisation that was set up to help people in this situation. If you were injured in an accident involving a stolen vehicle, the MIB could help if the insurance company covering the vehicle's owner is unwilling to pay. We have a proven track record of successfully making claims through the MIB, as well as appealing its decisions when needed. We make the claims process as simple as possible, to avoid any further stress while you focus on recovering from your injuries. Most of the claims we handle are on a No Win No Fee basis. This means that there's nothing for you to pay upfront, and that you won’t have to pay any legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful*. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident with an uninsured driver or stolen vehicle, call us today on 0800 056 4110 or contact us online for free initial advice about your case.

Claims Against Uninsured Drivers- More Information How Much Compensation Can I Expect? How much compensation you can expect to receive following a road traffic accident will depend on a number of factors related to your injury, its circumstances, and the support and rehabilitation you need as a result. The amount of compensation you could claim is based on: Current and future loss of earnings Medical and travel expenses you have incurred Your care and support needs – both now and in the future Modifications to your home Mobility aids Your pain and suffering Find out more about guide compensation amounts following road traffic accidents or call us on 0800 056 4110, and we'll be happy to discuss your options in a free initial consultation. Can I Make A No Win No Fee* Claim? You may be able to fund your case with a No Win No Fee agreement. This means that there’s no financial risk* to you when making a compensation claim. At the start of your case, we'll discuss funding options with you, advising you on which we think is most suitable. If you have legal expenses insurance (LEI) or are covered by a trade union policy, these may be best for you. Legal expenses insurance is included in many household insurance policies, so it’s always worth checking whether you’re already covered. If we think you're best supported by a No Win No Fee* agreement, we'll explain the process clearly. You'll only have to pay anything when your claim is successful – your opponent will pay most of our fees, with any remaining costs coming out of your compensation settlement. Please visit our No Win No Fee page for more information on how it works. How Long Do I Have To Make A Claim? You normally have three years from the date of an accident to begin a compensation claim – or three years from the date of turning 18 if the incident happened when you were a child. However, there is no time limit for people who don't have the mental capacity to make legal decisions, which often applies to those who have suffered serious brain injuries. In fatal cases, the family of the deceased has three years to make a claim, starting from either the date your loved one died, or the date you received the post-mortem results. If your accident or injury happened outside of the UK, then the time limit can be shorter. In this instance, it's vital that you contact us as soon as possible in this case. If you have any concerns or questions about the time limit for claiming compensation, call our team today on 0800 056 4110 for free initial advice and to talk through your options. Can I Get Early Compensation Payments? Early compensation payments, also known as interim payments, are payments made in advance of any final settlement. They’re only made in an agreement with your opponent, if they admit that they're responsible for your injuries. Interim payments can be used to replace loss of earnings, so you can afford to pay essential bills if your injury has meant you’ve been absent from work, as well as covering the cost of specialist medical care or mobility equipment. We'll work hard to get an early admission of fault, and also to obtain early compensation payments to relieve any immediate pressures you’re feeling.
