How to Claim After a Hit and Run Accident
It can feel overwhelming to claim compensation when the driver who caused your injuries is never found. But you do still have rights. A specialist Hit and Run Lawyer can help you make a claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB), which deals with cases involving untraced drivers across the UK.
Many people affected by hit and run accidents are cyclists or pedestrians. For example, if you were knocked off your bike, see our guide to cycling accident claims. Or, if you were injured walking on the pavement, our pavement accident claims page explains your options.
Other road users, like e-scooter riders and motorcyclists, are also at risk. Passengers can make a claim too — see our passenger accident claims page for details. If you’re unsure where your situation fits, our general road traffic accident claims page is a good place to start.

How the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) Works
If the driver who caused your accident can’t be identified, you may still be able to claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB). The MIB is funded by UK motor insurers to compensate victims injured by uninsured or untraced drivers.
Your Hit and Run Lawyer will make sure your claim meets the MIB’s strict rules and time limits. The process usually includes gathering strong evidence, proving your losses, and showing you made reasonable efforts to find the driver.
To learn more about how the MIB works, you can read the official untraced driver guide. If you were injured in a car accident that turned into a hit and run, our car accident claims page explains what to expect and how we can help you secure compensation.
With the right evidence and advice, you can make a strong claim through the MIB on a No Win, No Fee basis — so you’re never left facing the process alone.
What Evidence Will Your Hit and Run Lawyer Need?
Gathering strong evidence is vital when the driver who caused your injuries cannot be found. Your Hit and Run Lawyer will explain exactly what you need and help you collect it quickly, so your claim meets the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) requirements.
In most cases, you should try to keep copies of medical reports, police reference numbers, witness statements, and any photographs of the accident scene or damage. If you were involved in a cycling accident or motorcycle accident, keep any helmet cam or dashcam footage too — this can be crucial evidence for your claim.
If you’re not sure what to gather, don’t worry — your solicitor will make sure nothing is missed.

What Compensation Can You Get?
Compensation for a hit and run claim aims to put you back in the position you were in before the accident, as far as possible. A specialist Hit and Run Lawyer will help you claim for all the losses you’ve suffered — not just the obvious ones.
Typical Damages You Can Claim For
You may be entitled to claim for:
- Pain and suffering for your injuries
- Medical treatment costs and rehabilitation expenses
- Loss of earnings and any future loss of income
- Damage to your vehicle, bike, phone, or other property
Even if the driver is never found, you can still recover your losses through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau. If you were hurt in a car accident that turned into a hit and run, see our full guide to car accident claims for more details about how compensation works in these cases.
