What Happens When a Driver Causes Injuries to a Passenger
Passengers who suffer injuries in a car accident typically can seek compensation for their losses, such as medical bills and lost time at work, from the at-fault driver. If that is the driver of the car they are in, the passenger has the right to seek compensation for their losses from the driver’s liability insurance policy.
This can be an important step, especially in situations where the injuries are significant or other losses are substantial. Insurance companies may try to limit coverage. That is why hiring your own car accident attorney can be an important investment in your future.
