Claims Against Uninsured Drivers in Northern Ireland
If you were injured in a road traffic accident caused by an uninsured driver, you may still be entitled to compensation. Our solicitors provide clear advice and guide you through the legal process step by step, with no upfront costs to begin your claim.
A claim against an uninsured driver arises when you are injured in a road traffic accident and the driver responsible does not have valid motor insurance at the time of the collision.
In Northern Ireland, compensation in these situations may be pursued through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB). The MIB exists to compensate victims of accidents caused by uninsured or untraced drivers when insurance is not available.
You may still be able to make a claim even if:
The other driver admitted they had no insurance
The insurance policy had lapsed
The vehicle was not legally insured
The driver was using the vehicle unlawfully
