Passenger Injury Claim

It’s not just drivers who can make a claim for car accident compensation following a road traffic accident. If you are a passenger in a car or another vehicle and have been injured through no fault of your own, you may be entitled make a passenger injury claim.

As a passenger you are usually in a strong position to make a claim as your actions are unlikely to have affected either the driver of the vehicle you were travelling in, or of the driver of another car who caused the crash. Therefore you can make a passenger injury claim for compensation against either party, and receive money from their insurance cover.

Passenger Injury Claim Types

Drivers have a responsibility for the safety of their passengers. All reasonable steps must have been taken to reduce the risks of an accident occurring. Similarly, other motorists must drive in a safe manner to ensure they do not cause an accident. If these rules have not been adhered to, and you have suffered injuries as a result of another driver’s negligence, a passenger injury claim can be a relatively straightforward procedure.

There are a number of transportation methods where a passenger can be injured in an accident on the road. These include:

• Buses
• Boats/Ferries
• Cars
• Motorbike/Pillion
• Planes
• Taxis
• Trains
• Vans/Trucks

It is likely that they will sustain similar, if not worse injuries that the driver in an accident and the consequences can be life changing in the worst of cases.
