Passenger Have Many Options To Recover for Auto Accident Injuries

If you were a passenger injured in a car or auto accident, you have the right to seek compensation from the party or parties at fault.

Missouri and Illinois law require drivers to have insurance. This insurance covers not only the drivers and their automobiles, but also the passengers in the vehicles at the time of the accident.

Let an experienced St Louis Personal Injury Lawyer listen to your case to determine your rights and how to maximize your recovery: 314.421.4441.

Passengers are rarely at fault (a lawyer would say rarely “liable” or “negligent”) for causing an accident, unless the passenger interfered or distracted the driver. The drivers of the vehicles involved in the accident are responsible for the injuries caused by the accident, based upon each driver’s percentage of fault.

Put another way, a driver of a vehicle is not automatically at fault for the passengers’ injuries unless that driver is also at fault for causing the accident. If 2 or more vehicles are involved in a car accident, only the driver or drivers at fault for causing the accident are responsible for the injuries to any of the passengers.

If this seems complicated or confusing, call an experienced St Louis Personal Injury Lawyer for a free analysis of your claim: 314.421.4441.

When a passenger is injured, the driver involved may be a close friend, neighbor, relative, or even a parent, sibling, or spouse. Even if you are friends or relatives of the driver, you may still be entitled to compensation from the insurance company. That is what insurance is for, that is why people buy insurance — to help loved ones and other people who are accidentally injured in an auto accident.

Insurance companies set money aside (in a fund called “reserves”) earmarked to pay passenger claims. Don’t hesitate to make a claim just because you know or are related to the driver. Whether the driver is a friend, relative, parent, child, neighbor, or mere acquaintance, the injured passenger should not be deterred from seeking recovery from the at-fault driver’s insurance company.
