The Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) was founded in 1946, with the aim of the organisation being to compensate victims who have been injured in road traffic accidents involving untraced and uninsured drivers. Every year, the UK has worrying statistics regarding uninsured driving, with an estimated one in twenty cars being driven without the correct insurance. 

 

Many people are under the false impression that to be involved in an accident with an uninsured driver leaves you unable to make a claim for the personal injury compensation that you are entitled to, and would usually claim from the insurance policy of the at-fault driver. However, this is not the case, and if you are injured in an accident with an uninsured driver or untraced driver, you can make a claim for financial compensation with our personal injury solicitors, and we will pursue your claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB), and we will accept your personal injury claim, just the same as if the other vehicle was insured. 

 

All companies in the UK that offer motor insurance are required to be a member of the Motor Insurers' Bureau, and pay a monthly contribution to the MIB in order to contribute to its existence. The Motor Insurers Bureau is available to anyone who has suffered vehicle damage, or non-fault personal injury after a road traffic accident, and the driver of the vehicle at fault for the road traffic accident does not have a policy of insurance in place, or cannot be traced. 

 

When you make a Motor Insurers’ Bureau claim, there are two types of claims available, both traced and untraced. A traced Motor Insurers’ Bureau claim is for a road traffic accident caused by an identified uninsured driver, who has no means of paying the financial compensation that the victim of the accident is entitled to. Alternatively, an untraced Motor Insurers’ Bureau claim is made when the at-fault driver does not remain at the scene, and cannot be identified. 

 

When you work with MG Legal’s personal injury solicitors to make a Motor Insurers’ Bureau claim for personal injury, we will ensure that it is established from the outset with the Motor Insurers’ Bureau whether or not your Motor Insurers’ Bureau claim is traced or untraced, and ensure that the proper steps are taking to progress your claim.

As previously mentioned, when you make a Motor Insurers Bureau claim, your financial compensation will be broken down into two parts, general damages and special damages. Special damages are worked out on an individual basis, to cover any costa that you have suffered because of your accident at work. General damages instead covers the pain and suffering of the injuries themselves, and will vary depending on the types of injuries that you have sustained and how severe they are.
