What we do
Our principal role is to compensate victims of road traffic accidents caused by uninsured and unidentified vehicles which is regulated by the MIBI Agreement 2009. This Agreement sets out the rights given to persons who sustain damage and/or injuries in a road traffic accident caused by an uninsured vehicle or unidentified vehicle.
We also act as Green Card Bureau in Ireland which ensures persons who sustain damage and/or injuries in a road traffic accident caused by a vehicle registered outside the State are not disadvantaged. The Council of Bureaux Internal Regulations governs the investigation and settlement of such claims
MIBI operates the Motor Insurance Information Centre of Ireland (MIICI). MIICI assists victims who have sustained damage and/or injuries in a road traffic accident by providing information on the insurer and, where applicable, the Claims Representative of the alleged offending vehicle.
As Compensation Body, which is provided for under EU Motor Insurance Directive 2000/26/EC, MIBI investigates claims made by Irish residents involved in a road traffic accident which has occurred in another EU Member State. For more information on the Compensation body please read more here.
