Compensation is from 1 to 5 times your total bills based on how much fault is involved, if the uninsured person hits you and it wa 100 percent there faule compensation should be 5 times amount and then there are special cicumstances for loss of body parts! Hope this helps get a good lawyer you have up to 2 years to settle!

Actually, there is no such thing as an uninsured driver IF the vehicle owner has coverage and the driver has a valid license. The driver had every right to give the police your insurance information, since, by extension, you allowed her to drive your vehicle (which is insured in your name). You will be held responsible, insurance-wise for the accident and in all probablility your insurance will go up if and after your carrier pays the damages. If you claim that the driver didn't have permission to drive your car, the situation gets sticky as the insurance company may refuse to pay the claim and you could be sued as owner of the vehicle. That's part of the reason why I never loan my car to anyone - friend or family!! Good luck!

The fact that the other driver was uninsured will not affect the amount of compensation which you receive. The award will depend on liability, the nature of your injuries, level of pain and suffering, effect on day to day life, and the future prognosis to decide the award. Based on the limited detail very difficult to say what you should receive.

Get a solicitor, a good one, not one of the ambulance chasers. Your claim will have to be paid by the Motor Insurers Bureau, and they are not quick. They will then try to get their money back from the uninsured driver

Surely the first question should be "how long should it take to recover?"

If you're lucky, enough to pay your medical bills.
