How We Can Help You Claim ?
Our team of expert personal injury solicitors can help you start your claim today.
Uninsured drivers account for approximately 1 million of the 33 million drivers in the UK, according to the Motor Insurer’s Bureau. This is not only illegal but also irresponsible.
Fortunately, people who are injured in accidents involving uninsured drivers can usually still claim compensation to cover the costs associated with their injury. This applies even if you are a passenger in the uninsured driver’s vehicle.
Vehicle insurance is mandatory by law so that the costs incurred by innocent parties when a driver injures them or damages their property while they are driving is paid out by an insurance company.
Road Traffic Accidents can cause serious harm and significant expenses for injured parties. This law acknowledges that it is unlikely that any individual driver will be able to cover these costs themselves. It therefore requires that all drivers pay around £30 per year as part of their premiums to cover the compensation for uninsured drivers.
Our team of accident claim lawyers are available throughout the week for a free phone consultation. Just fill out our website form and we will be in touch within 24 hours.
Even if the driver was uninsured, there may be insurance in place to cover the costs associated with an injury.
A claim may be raised against include the owner of the car (if they are a different person to the driver), who is insured for their own use of the car. The law requires that their insurance covers a third party claim on behalf of the driver. You will therefore not need to approach the Motor Insurer’s Bureau, but rather claim compensation from their insurance company.
If you are unsure, a solicitor can help you navigate this process.

There can be significant costs incurred by Road Traffic Accidents, including:
Accidents involving uninsured drivers can be particularly tricky to navigate, due to the difficulty in pinpointing who to claim compensation from. Therefore, it is advisable to seek legal advice to maximise the likelihood of success in your compensation claim, as well as the sum you receive.

You should seek medical advice from your GP if you suspect you have whiplash, from a Road Traffic Accident or any other cause (any shock or sudden movement of your head or neck can cause this injury).
Whiplash will normally heal on its own. There is no need for a collar or brace. The treatment is actually keeping your head mobile. You can also use mild painkillers to alleviate the pain, as well as stretching or exercises, as advised by a doctor.
