Claims undertaken : Road Traffic Accidents

• If you are the driver of a motor vehicle that is involved in an accident and you sustain injuries, you may pursue a claim for compensation, provided you are not at fault for the accident.
• If you are a cyclist, motorcyclist or pedestrian involved in an accident and you sustain injuries, you may pursue a claim for compensation if you are not at fault for the accident.
• Even if you are partly to blame, you may still be entitled.
• If the person responsible for a Road Traffic Accident is not insured, that will not in itself prevent you from gaining compensation. In these circumstances, your appointed solicitor should be able to claim compensation from the MIB (Motor Insurers Bureau), a scheme set up by the government.
• If the driver responsible for the Road Traffic Accident cannot be identified, compensation can be claimed from the MIB.
• If you are a passenger in a motor vehicle that is involved in an accident and you sustain injuries, you may pursue a claim for compensation even if it is your driver's fault. The driver should have an insurance policy to cover legal costs and payment of compensation.
