Collision With Uninsured Driver
June 7, 2024

Finucane Toner Solicitors were instructed by DL following a road traffic collision in October 2021 with an uninsured driver. DL was driving his vehicle along the Stewartstown Road in Belfast when a van rear ended him and drove off without stopping. Jack Dowling acted in this matter.


The 3rd party driver in this case initially provided fraudulent insurance details to both our client and to the PSNI. When it was established that he was not insured we lodged a claim with the Motor Insurers' Bureau on behalf of our client. Liability was accepted by the MIB shortly thereafter and we obtained our own medical evidence from an experienced A&E Consultant.


An initial offer was of £4,500 was refused and following brief negotiations a settlement was agreed upon of £7,500. This claim Vs the MIB was settled within 10 months.


Despite a number of set backs and obstacles, our client was eventually compensated for both the damage to his vehicle and for the personal injuries sustained.
