What to do if you’re injured as a passenger in a car accident

If you were a passenger in a car accident and were injured, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries. The driver of the car you were riding in, the other driver, or both may be held responsible depending on who was at fault for the crash. Navigating the insurance claims process can be complicated, especially when you’re a passenger, but there are steps to take that can help you down the line.

  • Seek medical attention immediately. Even if your injuries seem minor, it’s important to get checked out.
  • Collect evidence and document your injuries. Take note of details like where the accident happened, the date, and the injuries you sustained.
  • Contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible. A lawyer will help ensure that you’re not left to deal with insurance companies on your own.

Common passenger injuries

Passengers involved in car accidents can suffer a wide range of injuries, some of which may be severe and have long-lasting effects. Since passengers don’t have control over the vehicle or its safety features, they can be especially vulnerable. Common injuries include:

  • Whiplash
  • Back and spine injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Internal injuries
  • Soft tissue injuries

Who is responsible for your injuries?

As a passenger, you may be entitled to file a claim against the driver responsible for the accident – whether it was the driver of the car you were in, the other driver, or both. If the other driver caused the crash, you can pursue compensation from their insurance. However, if the driver of the vehicle you were in was at fault, you can still file a claim against their insurance, or your own insurance if needed.

What damages can I recover as a passenger?

If you were injured as a passenger, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses: From emergency treatment to long-term therapy, your medical bills should be covered.
  • Lost wages: If your injuries cause you to miss work, you may be entitled to compensation for lost income.
  • Pain and suffering: Compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress resulting from the accident.
  • Future medical costs: If your injuries require ongoing treatment, you can seek compensation for future medical expenses.
