Injured As a Passenger
Even though it may seem that you have different
rights when injured as a passenger instead as a
driver, in reality, you have almost the same
rights. However, certain factors could influence
your eligibility to file a personal injury claim
Was it a multi-vehicle accident? If so, one of
the drivers involved will usually be responsible
for the accident. That driver will also be
responsible for compensating you for your damages.
Was it a single-car accident? If so, the driver
will almost always be responsible for the
accident and for covering your losses.
