We always talk about the driver of the vehicles involved in auto accidents. What about the passengers? Most vehicles are passenger occupant vehicles – cars, minivans, SUVs. Injuries are not limited to the driver of the vehicle. What should a passenger do to obtain compensation for his or her injuries?
First and foremost, you should obtain medical attention for any injuries you have sustained in an auto accident. After that, make sure that you are included in the exchange of information – your injuries are a result of the accident and will be taken care of by whoever is deemed to be at fault so you need all driver’s information including the one you were driving with.
The accident investigation that follows will help determine which party is at fault for the accident.
When a passenger makes a claim under an insurance policy that is not his or her own, it is known as a third-party car insurance claim.
Dealing with insurance companies in any kind of car accident can be time consuming and confusing. All you want to do is recover and get back to your life. A personal injury attorney can take that burden off your shoulders, file claims with the appropriate insurance companies and ensure you obtain the maximum compensation possible.
