Uninsured drivers

[Lee]

So what happens if you have been nailed by an uninsured driver, I got T boned the other day from some one pulling out of a side road as I was passing, but my insurers (tesco) have searched their database and the reg I have for the car does not come up as insured. I have been told someone will contact me within 48 hours but im impatient and don’t fancy being shafted, does anyone have any experience with this or is there anything I can do to speed things up etc
