Driving a vehicle on a road or in a public place without insurance against third party risk is an offence. You need to be correctly insured for the vehicle if you intend to drive or you could face a fixed penalty notice. Drivers without insurance are causing a large number of compensation claims that have to be dealt with by the Motor Insurers Bureau (MIB).
Uninsured drivers inflict a major financial burden on other motorists, estimated at around £380 million each year or around £30 of the cost of each insurance premium. Uninsured drivers also impose other costs on society, such as repairs to street furniture – barriers, street lights etc. Uninsured drivers are more likely to avoid road traffic signs and signals which result in them, unfortunately, being involved in road traffic accidents.
The Uninsured Driver’s Agreement between the government and the MIB ensures innocent victims of uninsured drivers don’t go uncompensated. The Agreement provides arrangements for the MIB to pay compensation to those who suffer personal injury or damage to their property as a result of a motor vehicle accident with an uninsured driver.

Your Solicitor will obtain medical evidence from relevant medical professionals to ascertain what injuries have been sustained and when you will be most likely to recover from such injuries.

Any road traffic accident can cause injury. However, head-on collisions are more likely to result in serious harm and even fatality to the drivers or passengers.
A head-on collision can be caused by a mechanical fault in the vehicle, such as failure of the brakes. However, a head-on collision is usually caused by one of the drivers being on the wrong side of the road. This is often due to the driver being:
