Uninsured driver compensation claims
If you’ve been hit by an uninsured driver, or someone who failed to stop following an accident, you may be entitled to make a personal injury or a serious injury claim.
Being involved in a hit and run can be a frightening and also a frustrating experience.
Fortunately, there is a way to make a claim through the Motor Insurers Bureau (MIB) a non-profit organisation funded by UK insurers which offers compensation to innocent victims regardless of whether you were:
- Driver.
- Passenger.
- Motorcyclist.
- Cyclist.
- Pedestrian.
With the help of our expert solicitors you can make a claim against an untraced or uninsured motorist through the MIB, securing compensation for your injuries and loss.

FAQs
How do I make a claim against an uninsured or untraced driver?
When a driver leaves the scene of a crash, they’re classed as an ‘untraced’ motorist because their details (name, address, vehicle registration) are unknown. This can make it very difficult to claim compensation, given that the burden lies on the claimant to prove that the hit and run driver was solely responsible for the accident.
To help support your case, you should do the following as soon as possible after the incident:
- Collect as much evidence as you can about what happened at the scene, including photographs, contact details of any witnesses, and a description of the driver and their vehicle. The more information you can gather, the stronger your case will be when making a claim against a hit and run driver.
- Inform the police as soon as possible about the details of the crash, so that it’s fresh in your mind. Given that the driver fled the scene, it’s highly likely that the car was stolen or uninsured, so it’s vital you pass information about the incident to the police as soon as possible. And don’t forget to obtain a police reference or log number so information about your case can be accessed easily.
- Inform your insurance company of the accident. If the police discover the identity of the driver and find out that the car was stolen, your insurance provider may be able to trace the other party’s insurer. They will also be able to access the Motor Insurance Database, which could help to identify the driver.
- In the event of personal injury, get medical help from your GP or a local hospital. The MIB will assess your medical records when establishing the severity of your injuries, so it’s vital that you seek medical attention after the accident.
- Get in touch with us and we’ll provide expert legal representation on a no win no fee basis. Our experienced solicitors will file an untraced driver claim on your behalf, helping you to negotiate the complex claims process whilst fighting for the highest settlement sum.
