Motor Insurers’ Bureau of Ireland estimates the cost of such claims adds €35 on to every motor insurance premium
The number of car insurance claims involving motorists driving without the proper insurance or motorists who could not be traced following an incident jumped by more than 10 per cent last year, according to figures published on Monday.
The MIBI is a not-for-profit organisation that was established to compensate victims of road traffic accidents caused by uninsured and unidentified vehicles, effectively the expense of meeting these claims is borne by law-abiding motorists. Figures from the MIBI suggest that the average motorist will have contributed €30-€35 at their most recent insurance renewal to cover the claims paid out by the body in the past year.
A total of nine counties recorded a drop in the number of claims, with the largest percentage decreases in Leitrim, Offaly and Sligo.
