Hit and Run Accident Compensation Claims

Our specialist Hit and Run Solicitors can help you claim compensation if you are injured by a driver who leaves the scene of the accident.

It is a criminal offence to leave the scene of an accident without providing contact and insurance details, but some drivers try to avoid the consequences of what they have just done. Drivers without insurance are more likely to leave the scene without identifying themselves through fear of prosecution or disqualification.

A compensation claim is totally justified where you are injured due to the fault or negligence of others, even when the person responsible cannot be identified. In these cases, the claim will be made through the Motor Insurance Bureau (MIB).

The MIB is a government body setup to protect injured parties in situations involving an accident where the culprit cannot be identified, or they do not have insurance.

The experienced Hit and Run Solicitors at PSR Solicitors in North Wales and Cheshire, will guide you through the entire process to ensure the best possible settlement is achieved.

Pursuing compensation for your accident is not something you have to do on your own, you need the specialist advice we have become recognised for.

Trust us to help you.

*Please note that new regulations apply for all car accidents after 01/06/21 and compensation will now be awarded as per a Government tariff scheme.

What should you do after a hit and run accident?

If you are involved in a hit and run accident, the first thing you should do is seek help from any witnesses. Ask if anyone saw the registration number and take the contact details of everyone who saw what happened. Look around for CCTV cameras and request copies of the recordings. Collect evidence of the accident by taking photos and video of the scene, including the location of the accident itself, damage to the car and any other property damaged. You should take photographs of your injuries as well.

Claiming compensation for injuries in a hit and run accident.

If you have been injured, or your property has been damaged in a hit and run accident, you’ll need advice from an experienced hit and run compensation solicitor. We will help you navigate the Untraced Drivers Scheme operated by the Motor Insurers Bureau and ensure you receive the level of compensation you are entitled to.

The MIB will rely on the information provided by you, the victim, to assist them with their investigation into the claim. It is important that you report the incident as soon as it is possible to do so, and that you are willing to cooperate with the MIB and the police throughout the process.

Vulnerable road users

Pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists are classified as vulnerable road users because they are more exposed to the risk of injury if an accident occurs. In fact, according to a government report vulnerable road users accounted for 53% of all road accident fatalities in 2020.

Unfortunately, a driver who is at fault for an accident with a vulnerable driver may try to flee the scene in fear of the consequences of having caused serious injuries to someone.

Accidents involving vulnerable drivers can lead to a very wide range of possible injuries, from broken bones to head and brain injuries, which may involve a lengthy recovery period and time off work, and in the worst cases may be fatal.

Causing death by dangerous driving is clearly one of the most serious of all driving offences with penalties including up to 14 years imprisonment and an unlimited fine.
