no not the men in black, but the motoring industry buerau

 

anyone had to claim through these before

 

i had a bloke crash into me,. he was uninsured and it was 100% his fault, it happened in september (the 16th) and still aint had no word from them

 

i ring the solicitors every week to keep them on their toes and they just tell me that the M.I.B hasnt put an agent on the case yet

 

if you have had any dealings with them how long did it take to get payed out

I got hit head on by an uninsured driver and had to claim from the MIB for personal injury. I had to keep on their backs but they did pay out.

 

It took about 2 years to get a sensible amount tho....

never knew this existed, nice to know theres something out there even if it may be slow - i thought you were just left to sue the fooker on your own.

 

hope all goes well with it bud!

thats not good news lol

Yes it is mate, my dad got something stupid like £18000 in cash, a £1000 matress, private physiotherapy costing over £10k etc all paid for. He had to wait a couple of years. Worth it if you ask me.

Why does bad things always seem to happen on my birthday???

 

Have you spoken to the legal team through your car insurance (if you have it that is), it covers you to help with the recovery of any uninsured losed as a result of a car accident.

Would definately try this mate

Why not take the person who hit you to court and force him to pay, you cant loose really.

i know where the guy lives and he will be forced one way or the other, and he fookin knows that

 

cheers anyway lads

unfortunately, at the moment your claim against the MIB will take a very long time. they had to release some staff earlier this year and currently have a very large backlog of work. their response time is between 2 and 4 months at present. however, it is generally a better way of recovering damages rather than simply issuing proceedngs against the other driver and pursuing him directly. even if and when a judgement is received, inforcing this and getting any monies back is never guaranteed.

 

if and when you are medically examined this may have to be via the MIB's agents because they won't always agree to meet the fees otherwise and this process can cause further delays.

 

if the MIB deal with the claim on behalf of the uninsured driver and later establish he has any assets they will issue proceedings against him themselves.

 

best of luck.
