Road Traffic Accidents Involving Hit And Run Drivers
Hit and Run - Compensation Claim Advice
In cases where the driver fails to stop after a road accident, or an unknown driver has negligently caused you an accident of any sort, our first efforts for you would be trace the driver or his insurance with any information available from you or the police.
If the driver still cannot be traced, a claim can still be pursued using the Motor Insurers' Bureau (Compensation of Victims of Untraced Drivers Agreement 2003)
The agreement is a complex one with many detailed provisions. It is highly recommended you get a specialist lawyer to advise you how to get through the scheme.
You will be required to bring evidence of calling the police: you should have a note of their details. They will compile a report which is of considerable importance in any subsequent legal action.
If you are involved in an accident, take the names and home addresses of witnesses; wherever possible always keep a record of what happened, and take photographs if you can; keep evidence of doctors visited and treatments, and keep any injury related receipts.
