Some claims can be resolved through negotiation, while others may require litigation, which can prolong the process.
Q9: What if the other party involved in the bike accident does not have insurance?
A: If the other party involved in the bike accident does not have insurance, you may still be able to pursue a claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau of Ireland (MIBI). The MIBI provides compensation to victims of uninsured or untraced drivers, subject to certain conditions.

However, not wearing a helmet may impact the assessment of contributory negligence, which could affect the amount of compensation awarded.
