How to claim for personal injury as new research shows 1 in every 36 drivers in the UK is uninsured

Over a million drivers roam the streets without a valid insurance policy in place - here's how to claim if you're involved in an accident with an uninsured driver

When car accidents happen, it's common practice to contact your insurance provider to seek help or advice - after all, accidents happen - it's a fact of life.

But what happens if it's someone else's fault, and they don't have a policy in place?

All motorists are required by law to have a valid insurance policy - but as we all know, not everyone obeys the law.

No-one knows exactly how many uninsured drivers there are on Britain’s roads, but a fair estimate is about 1.2 million.

This is roughly one driver in every 36, although that could climb to as many as one in five in inner cities.

So what happens if you suffer injury or property damage at the hands of an uninsured driver?

Fortunately, you’re not completely unprotected.
