| Personal Injury News: High Court’s decision in favour of teenager |
| A landmark ruling at the High Court has brought the right to proceed with a road accident compensation claim for a teenage boy that happened in 1993. The boy, who was three years old at the time, was involved in a hit and run accident outside the nursery he attended, suffering a shattered femur and requiring six weeks in traction and at the time of the injury, the boy’s parents were not aware of the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) and did not proceed with a claim. Eventually in 2001, the parents made an appeal for compensation but their claim was subsequently rejected by the MIB on the grounds that at the time the claim was submitted, the time limit had passed. However in this High Court hearing, the claimant proposed that if an insured driver hit a minor, under current UK law, an entitlement to claim would continue up to the age of 21 years. Consequently the High Court ruled that those who had been injured by uninsured or untraced motorists were currently being treated unfairly and should have the same rights as those hit by insured or traced drivers and ruled that the teenager be allowed to proceed with his road accident compensation claim.
