Soft Tissue Injuries and Whiplash Claims
From the 31st May 2021, the claims process for soft tissue injuries and whiplash claims resulting from a motor accident have changed, and you will have the opportunity to manage the claim yourself via a new government portal.
To use the portal, certain eligibility criteria will apply, but if you are in any doubt please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Untraced Motorist
Even if the motorist failed to stop and you were unable to obtain the registration number of the vehicle, a claim can be pursued against the Motor Insurers Bureau under the “Untraced Drivers Agreement”. It is a condition, however, that the accident be reported to the Police within 5 days of the incident if claiming for property damage, or within 14 days if claiming for personal injuries. Failure to do so will jeopardise a claim.
Uninsured Motorist
If your injuries were caused by the negligent driving of an uninsured motorist, your claim could be referred to the Motor Insurers Bureau under the “Uninsured Drivers Agreement”. MIB claims can be complex and it is important to instruct an experienced solicitor.
