In the UK, car accident compensation claims are met by the insurance company of the person deemed at fault in a road traffic accident.
The system has been running smoothly since 1930 when it became law for every driver to have an insurance policy covering at least third party risks so that those harmed through no fault of their own or who had their vehicle damaged in a car crash could be recompensed.
If the person at fault does not have valid insurance for any reason or cannot be traced, the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB) steps in to make up the difference. This industry organisation is funded by subscriptions from all insurers which add the cost to the premiums of other drivers.
This combination of insuring the vehicle involved and providing personal injury compensation for people if they are victims of a vehicle accident paid for by individual owners to insurance companies is a model copied in most industrialised countries.
However, some governments keep the two aspects of recompense separate. For example, in New Zealand an accident compensation levy is made on all drivers.
This no-fault accident scheme is run by the Government as a form of social insurance but it has been dogged with administrative and cost problems since it started and there are regular calls for it to be privatised and become part of a commercial insurance market.
Although there are failings with the British method whereby those involved in a car crash leave their insurance company to sort out the rights and wrongs of an accident, most of the time it works smoothly, achieving reasonable damages payments for those concerned. Unfortunately, things go awry occasionally and that's where it helps to have a specialist car accident lawyer on your side.
