7.8: Motor Insurance Bureau

If you are the victim of an uninsured or hit and run driver, you may be able to claim compensation from the Motor Insurance Bureau, an organisation funded by motor insurers. If you make an application to the M.I.B it will be considered under one of two categories.

1. Universal Drivers Agreement
This applies to accidents in which the driver of the vehicle who caused the injury or damage was identified. There are some conditions if your claim includes damage to property by an uninsured driver.

2. Untraced Driver Agreement
This applies if you are injured by a hit and run driver and cannot sue because the driver cannot be traced. However, you may only claim for bodily injury, not for damage to property.

Further information can be obtained from:
The Motor Insurance Bureau (M.I.B) 152 Silbury Boulevard Central Milton Keynes MK9 1NB
