Have you been hurt in a hit and run accident?
Few crimes in our society are considered as cowardly as those committed by in a hit and run accident. The vast majority of people involved in road traffic accidents do stop at the scene, but when this doesn’t happen it becomes known as a hit and run accident. Very serious injuries, sometimes even fatalities, can be caused in this way and for the person who has been hurt it can be very hard to put the accident behind them if the perpetrator remains untraced for any length of time.
Claiming compensation for a hit and run accident
But it is still possible to make a claim following a hit and run accident – even when the party at fault remains untraced. By law, every underwriter of compulsory insurance must be a member of an organisation called the Motor Insurers’ Bureau. This is a private company set up in 1946 for the purpose of compensating victims of negligent uninsured or untraced motorists.
