But what happens if that driver leaves the scene without exchanging details?
Quite simply, matters can get complicated. You will need a specialist lawyer on your side for your best chance of obtaining the justice and compensation you deserve.
Help is at hand
Our personal injury team has extensive experience in dealing with hit-and-run accidents and a successful track record of achieving financial awards for clients who have fallen victim to a hit-and-run driver.
We will liaise directly with the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB), an insurance industry organisation set up to fund compensation payments to victims of road traffic accidents caused by uninsured or unidentified drivers. We can complete all the necessary paperwork and make representation to the MIB on your behalf, ensuring your best interests remain paramount throughout the claims process. And if your vehicle insurance company needs to be kept in the loop, we can do that too.
A FEW KIND WORDS
“I met Paul Lewis from George Ide less than a week after my road bike accident. I found him to be engaging and very knowledgeable about what had happened to me and was able to advise on Occupational Health, rehabilitation, Police, and medical assessments in relation to my claim and engaging with the Van driver’s insurance company to determine their liability for the accident…”
“Throughout the course of my claim, Paul always ensured I was kept informed of progress, with clear and regular communications. I am very grateful for his support in helping get the settlement he has for me.”

George Ide LLP. We're on your sideClient Support Story
At the age of 35, Mr B sustained a brain injury in a road traffic accident that left him plagued by blurred and double vision. Too visually impaired to be able to enjoy his passion for riding motorbikes, the compensation and support package successfully secured by our personal injury team included provision for him to purchase and, assisted by a friend, to renovate a classic motorcycle. Remaining actively involved with motorcycling was a vital part of Mr B’s rehabilitation, helping him rebuild his skills and regain confidence.
