http://www.mibi.ie/making-a-claim/uninsured-unidentified-vehicles.421.htmlVehicle/Property Damage Claims:
Vehicle/property claims are covered under the MIBI compensation scheme however the alleged offending vehicle must be identified by means of a valid registration plate. In instances where the alleged offending vehicle cannot be identified MIBI has no liability to pay compensation for vehicle/property damage unless there are significant personal injuries arising from the same accident. In certain circumstances an excess may apply to vehicle/property damage claims e.g. an excess of €220 applies to vehicle claims, where the offending vehicle was stolen at the time the incident occurred.
In my case the vehicle was identified and there were significant personal injuries.
