“I Was A Passenger In An Accident, What Do I Do Now?”
A lot of people ask us every month, “What do I do if I’m injured in a wreck while I’m a passenger?” Simply put, if you are hurt in an accident as a passenger, you are probably in the best position to bring a claim. Why? Because you weren’t driving and therefore you have no fault in the incident! There are a few limited exceptions to this rule, but generally, you can take that rule to the bank!
When does the situation get more complicated?
When the driver of your vehicle is at fault (either partially or completely) and is a close friend or relative, that makes the situation a bit more complicated. Why? Because a lot of times, insurance companies are aware of your relationship to the driver and know you may not want to bring a claim against someone you are close with.
