Expired Car Insurance
I very carelessly allowed my car insurance to expire, not intentionally but I know it was an extremely carless lapse. One month after I caused a collision, only a minor one but other driver suffered some injuries and damage to her car. As I had no insurance cover, the other driver has told me that she will be suing me for damages of around £2000.
I am aware that there is the Motor Insurance Bureau (MIB) who consider claims in cases of an accident with an uninsured driver. The other driver is a young girl and thinking she may not be aware of the MIB I told her about them. However she has written to me to say she will still be suing me for damages.
Do you think she should be suing me rather than going through the MIB?

You said it wasn't really about the money and it does show that although money can often help, it doesn't always put things right. Even if it would, I'd guess that once an amount of compensation is accepted you then can't go back and ask for more.

Try not to worry Mannguy.
If it was a minor collision and low impact chances are the young lady will make a full recovery within a few months. She would undoubtedly have had some protection from the car itself absorbing some of the impact.
Ummm's was more serious because she was actually hit by a car.
