Liability in case of uninsured collision

Questioner

On April 14th, I had a collision. Three vehicles were involved. I was in the front seat in a Clio, and an Opel Vivaro drove behind me. And then the third one followed. However, it turns out the person who hit me isn't insured. I've already held him liable for the damages I suffered by sending a registered letter. This letter has already been delivered to his door twice, but the person wasn't home. Now the letter has been sitting at a post office collection point for over a week. So I thought I'd approach the person personally. By calling him. Now he claims he was pushed by the person behind him. But in my opinion, that's absolutely not the case. And he's responsible for my damages anyway. The cause of the incident was that the car in front of me suddenly hit the brakes hard so I had to stop too, and the person behind me was way too late to stop. What avenues can I now take to recover my damages from him?

Questioner

Dear questioner, If the potentially liable driver of a motor vehicle turns out to be uninsured and does not compensate you for your damages, you can submit your claim to the Motor Vehicle Guarantee Fund in Rijswijk. They will settle your claim with you and then recover the damages from the uninsured driver. Success!
