Who Is Eligible to Make a Claim?
If you’ve been injured in a road accident through no fault of your own, you may be eligible to make a claim. However, eligibility can depend on several factors, such as:
- Fault: If another party is responsible for the accident, you’re likely eligible for compensation.
- Uninsured drivers: If the other driver was uninsured, you can still pursue a claim through alternative routes like the Motor Insurers’ Bureau.
- Hit-and-run accidents: You can also file a claim for compensation, even if the responsible driver cannot be identified.
