We all purchase insurance to help us through the unexpected — including passenger injuries. If you were injured as a passenger in a car accident, you may have several options to obtain the compensation you need for recovery. A personal injury lawyer can help you understand your rights.
- Car insurance claim: If you were injured as a passenger, you can make a claim against the insurance company that covers the car you were in, if the driver of that car is found to be at fault.
- Your own insurance: If there was insufficient liability insurance to cover a serious passenger injury, you can often make up some or all of the shortfall by making a claim against your own policy. This will not affect your rates.
- The other driver's insurance: If a driver in another car was found responsible for the accident, you can make a claim against that insurance company.
- Talk to a lawyer. It's free. If you have questions about your rights or your options in a passenger injury case, talk to a personal injury attorney at Jacobs & Jacobs.
You are welcome to call or e-mail our law firm to talk about your injuries or a loved one's wrongful death as a passenger in someone else's car. If you cannot come to the office, we will come to your hospital room or home. We are able and willing to help you and your family through this.
