Being a passenger in a vehicle accident doesn’t mean you’re without legal options. In fact, you may be entitled to compensation from one or more parties involved in the crash.
Your Rights as a Passenger
As a non-driving party, you’re generally not considered at fault. You can file a claim against the driver of your vehicle, the other driver, or both, depending on the circumstances.
Collecting Evidence
Even as a passenger, you should collect the same evidence as a driver—photos, insurance details, and witness information. Request a copy of the police report and seek immediate medical attention.
Insurance Considerations
You may be covered by the at-fault driver’s liability insurance or your own personal injury protection (PIP) policy. Navigating these options can be complex.
Legal Support Is Key
Having a personal injury attorney ensures you avoid common pitfalls and receive fair compensation. Let us guide you through the process.
