Motor Insurance Bureau (MIB)

If you have been unlucky enough to be involved in an accident where the at-fault driver is either not insured or is a foreign registered vehicle, we can assist you by liaising with the Motor Insurers Bureau (MIB) to secure the compensation that you are entitled to.  The MIB is a not-for-profit company set up by motor insurers to compensate victims of accidents caused by uninsured motorists and they will take the lead in investigating your claim.

The MIB are a non-profit-making company set up by motor insurers in order to compensate victims of motor accidents and will investigate the claim by:

  • Establishing the facts
  • Confirming the identity of those involved
  • Obtaining independent reports from motor engineers or witnesses
  • Obtaining a police report if necessary
  • Contacting other bodies such as the DVLA, your insurer or a foreign bureau
    • After their investigation, the MIB will make every effort to decide on whether to make a compensation payment within six months. If liability is in dispute, conflicting evidence is presented, or any person is seriously injured, they will require a police report. This can take some time to obtain as the police cannot release the report until criminal prosecutions are concluded. As such, if you are eligible for compensation, a decision on the appropriate amount will usually take longer than six months.

On top of this, there are a variety of other factors that have an effect on how long things take. This could include injury claims for which they an independent medical report may need to be obtained if the medical experts do not agree on the effects of the injury. They may also have to obtain independent reports to establish the extent of some parts of your claim, such as loss of earnings or care needs.
