Every year road accidents cost thousands of lives, tens of thousands of serious injuries, millions of hospital beds and great stress and trauma to many more.

Can I actually make a claim for compensation?
There are a number of factors that are taken into account when deciding whether you can make a successful claim for compensation. The most important thing that you can do is act quickly. Below are some pointers to help you determine whether or not you can make a claim for compensation.
- The accident was less than 3 years ago and less than 9 months ago if the driver of the vehicle that caused the accident was not insured or did not stop to give you their details. In this case a claim would be made via the Motor Insurers Bureau (MIB)
- Someone else was to blame for the accident; even if it was a friend or family member that was driving at the time, as a passenger you can still make a claim against their insurance.
