Had a car accident in your used car?
Car accidents happen everyday, in many cases it down to careless driving but it’s even more frustrating when the person is not insured which within the UK is becoming a raising problem. With the economy the way it is and more drivers who do not have a valid licence driving. Many drivers are unaware of UK driving regulations and at times are so bad that they drive on the wrong side of the road. Making a claim to have the car repaired is painful enough but having to make a claim for personal injury is not as painful. The motoring organisation have a department which compensates for uninsured drivers who cause accidents. This is called the MIB, it is created and funded by the insurance companies to pay out to victims of personal injury caused by uninsured drivers.
The claims process works in the same way as a normal personal injury claim, it’s free and in many cases under a no win no fee process. This is when you pay no fees if you win or lose the claim. It’s a simple procedure, call up an insurance company and describe the accident, they will put you in touch with one of their solicitors if they think you have a valid claim, you know within minutes this was rather than having to wait weeks. The solicitor takes care of everything else, you don’t even have to meet them, it can all be done over the phone, post or email.
