We can help you if you have been the victim of a hit and run accident by an untraced or uninsured motorist and have suffered personal injuries as a result.

HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT.co.uk is an online service run by TMS Legal Solutions Limited a specialist company regulated by the Ministry of Justice.

We are a modern, friendly, helpful organisation. Our headquarters are in Southampton, but we provide a national service and represent victims of hit and run accidents all over the UK.

We will help you pursue a claim against the Motor Insurers Bureau (MIB) who is responsible for paying compensation to the victims of such accidents.

Hit and run accidents can take many forms. Generally you are likely to fall into one of the following groups:

1. Car Driver - your vehicle has been hit by an untraced or uninsured motorist.

2. Car Passenger - you were a passenger in a vehicle hit by an untraced or uninsured motorist.

3. Cyclist - you were knocked off your bicycle as a result of being hit by an untraced or uninsured motorist.

4. Pedestrian - you were hit whilst walking by an untraced or uninsured motorist.

5. Motor Cyclist - your motor bike has been hit by an untraced or uninsured motorist.

6. Pillion Passenger - you were a passenger on a motor bike hit by an untraced or uninsured motorist.

7. You were the driver or passenger in a public/private transport vehicle (e.g. taxi, bus, tram, train) hit by an untraced or uninsured motorist.

The actual cause of the damage can be direct or indirect. In a straightforward case the accident will have been caused by the other motorist colliding with you or the vehicle you were travelling in.

In other cases the cause may be more indirect - for example, diesel or oil spilt on the road or an insecure load causing you to have an accident and you suffer injury loss and damage.

Whatever your circumstances you can only claim where it can be established that the accident was the fault of the untraced or uninsured motorist. However you can still claim even though you may have been partly to blame.

In these circumstances you can claim for the appropriate percentage of your losses. For example, if the accident was deemed to be 50% your fault and 50% the fault of the untraced or uninsured motorist you could only claim for 50% of your losses.

We can deal with your claim even where the accident was caused in the UK by a foreign motorist who is either uninsured or untraced. We can even help you where the accident occurred in another European country!

Where the accident and your injury have been caused by a deliberate and intentional act it is unlikely to be dealt with by the MIB.

Such cases might be suitable for a claim under a government scheme operated by the Criminal Injury Compensation Authority (CICA).

We can still help you pursue a claim under the CICA scheme.

In summary we can help you if:

1. You have been the victim of a hit and run accident by an untraced or uninsured motorist in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, NI).

2. You have been the victim of a hit and run accident by an untraced or uninsured motorist in the Republic of Ireland.

3. You have been the victim of a hit and run accident by an untraced or uninsured foreign motorist in the UK.

4. You have been the victim of a hit and run accident caused by an untraced or uninsured motorist in any other European country e.g. France, Germany, and Spain.

5. You have been the victim of a criminal injury caused by a deliberate and intentional hit and run by an untraced or uninsured motorist.
