A friend of mine has a personal injury claim against an ex employer for a pretty serious accident at work some time back. He went through the PIAB system and as his ex employer would not respond to any PIAB correspondence over a period of almost 12 months he was advised that they (PIAB) were issuing an Authorisation to proceed to legal proceedings which he duly did. The ex employers are not responding to any of his solicitor's correspondence and have still not nominated a solicitor. Now my friend's solicitor has been advised that the ex employer's insurance company is "declining indemnity" and he is being told that if the company were wound up then he would have difficulties in recouping any monies in circumstances where there would be no insurance company to back up any award. We are wondering if there is any equivalent in my friend's personal injury situation to MIBI who provide insurance backup in the event of claims against non insured drivers
