How do I know when to claim on Motor Insurers' Bureau?
Normally, it will be self evident as to whether a motorist has failed to stop after an accident or cannot be identified. However, since every accident involving personal injury must be reported to the police, they will tell you if their enquiries have failed to identify an offending motorist.
Nonetheless, it is helpful if you contact MIB as quickly as possible and you should note that applications under the agreement can only be considered if they are received within three years of the date of accident or 9 months in respect of property damage claims.
