My solicitor told me some while ago that the person who knocked me down is from the south of Ireland and so car is registered with a southern registration.
She told me now that MIB are now involved. To be honest on the day I called in I didn't know what she meant.
On reading the reports from her the other day I am now taking it that if my claim is successful MIB will pay out rather than the person's southern insurers.
Well, the website states (under ‘making a claim on an untraced driver’ which I’m assuming your so,icitor is doing)
We will make every effort to decide on whether to make a compensation payment within three months.
Took about 2 years for me to get my payment (probably over that) I too was knocked over along with my 4 year old son so they were dealing with two claims. Have you seen an independent doctor?
Under claims against an uninsured driver it says:
We will make every effort to decide on whether to make a compensation payment within three months. For cases submitted under the Pre-Action Protocol for Low Value Personal Injury Claims in Road Traffic Accidents, we will aim to make a decision within six weeks.
ok - thanks for that - just wanted to say - the claim was with another solicitor and when I enquired about the claim a year later - I was told said solicitor had left the practice - hence quite a long time ie a year and half.
