The MIB Untraced Drivers Agreement & Serious Injury Cases

Introduction

The Untraced Drivers Agreement 2017 applies to all accidents after 1 March 2017 and sets out the specific procedure which must be followed to make a claim. Where an injured person cannot identify the ‘at fault driver’ of a vehicle, the classic ‘hit and run’ scenario, this is the agreement which governs their right to compensation.

Unlike a claim against an uninsured driver where, if agreement cannot be reached, a Claimant can issue court proceedings and join the MIB into the claim, under the Untraced Drivers Agreement 2017 Court proceedings cannot be issued and if the parties cannot reach agreement the matter proceeds to arbitration.

In this virtual classroom seminar we will take a detailed look at serious injury claims where there is an untraced driver. We will consider what can and cannot be claimed, the procedure for doing so, and the costs that can be recovered.
