Road traffic accidents occur in Ireland whereby a driver has no insurance at the time of the incident.
Each vehicle driver in Ireland is required to have insurance arising from Section 56 of the Road Traffic Act of 1961.
In the event an accident occurs wherein the road user who caused the accident does not have vehicle insurance, the Motor Insurers’ Bureau was created in 1955 to compensate victims in circumstances where an offending driver was uninsured or is unidentified or has absconded.
Notification to the Motor Insurers Bureau of Ireland
If one wishes to commence a personal injury claim involving an uninsured driver, it is necessary to give prior notice to the Bureau on the MIBIs Claim Notification Form.
Material information, such as, medical reports need to be provided to the Bureau.
