About us


Official Injury Claim is a new free and independent service for people with minor injuries from a road traffic accident to claim compensation without legal help. This easy-to-use online portal guides you through the process of making a claim, obtaining a medical report, managing that claim and if the claim is successful, receiving compensation.

Official Injury Claim has been developed by MIB (Motor Insurers' Bureau) on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.

Official Injury Claim is an impartial service and does not make any money from claims. The purpose of the service is to deliver Government policy in relation to road traffic accident related personal injury claims under £5,000, rising to a total of £10,000 for all losses related to the accident (such as loss of earnings and damage to your car and property).

You can use the service if you were injured in a road traffic accident on or after the 31st May 2021.
