Passenger Injuries
If you were a passenger injured in an auto accident, what are your rights? Do you have to bring a claim against the friend or relative who owns the car? Talk to a personal injury attorney at Jacobs & Jacobs in New Haven, Connecticut.
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.
