Hit and Run Accidents
If you are involved in a road traffic accident, it is a legal requirement that you stop at the scene of the accident to exchange insurance details with all parties involved in the accident. Whilst most people abide by this legal requirement, there are still thousands of accidents each year where the guilty party fails to stop at the scene, which is more commonly referred to as a hit and run accident.
If you are unfortunate to be involved in a hit and run accident, there is no insurance company to claim compensation from in respect to both vehicle damage and any personal injury sustained. Many people involved in hit and run accidents do not bother trying to pursue a hit and run accident claim, as they feel there is no point.
This however is not the case, as it may be possible to make a hit and run compensation claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB). The Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) is a non-profit company that was established in 1947 and is funded by UK insurers to compensate victims of negligent untraced or hit and run drivers. The MIB also compensate victims of uninsured drivers.
What to do if you are involved in a hit and run (untraced driver) accident?
As with any road traffic accident, being involved in a hit and run accident can be a very distressing time. If you are unfortunate to be involved in a hit and run accident with a untraced driver, there are a number of things you should do to help your potential compensation claim.
Firstly you should contact the police as soon as possible after the accident. If you fail to notify the police that you have been involved in a hit and run accident, you will not be able to make a claim through the Motor Insurers Bureau (MIB).
If you have suffered personal injuries due to the hit and run accident, you should visit the hospital or your local GP as soon as possible. You should also try to make a note of anybody who may have witnessed the hit and run accident.
