Passenger Rights in Car Accidents
If you were a passenger in a car accident, you have the right to take legal action and receive compensation for any losses you might have sustained. You should not have to bear the expenses imposed on you by another person’s irresponsible actions; the liable party should be held accountable instead. You do not automatically get included if another driver takes legal action against the responsible party, so we recommend you consider your options and file your own claim.
What Compensation Can Injured Passengers Claim?
Passengers can obtain compensation for their injuries and other losses they’ve suffered after a car accident. Depending on your circumstances, you may qualify for payment for the following items and losses:
- Attorney fees
- Medical bills
- Ambulance charges
- Physical and occupational therapy
- Future medical care
- Mental health services
- Property damage
- Wrongful death
- Loss of consortium or companionship
- Loss of wages
- Loss of wage-earning capacity
- Change in quality of life
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Scarring and disfigurement
Other losses may also qualify for compensation. We recommend you work with an attorney from Hollis Law Firm for assistance with your claim, as our lawyer can help identify other eligible damages. An attorney can also assist in determining the overall value of your case, increase the maximum compensation you can receive, and much more.
How Can a Lawyer Assist in Passenger Injury Claims?
No matter the legal matters you find yourself in, we recommend you work with a qualified attorney whenever possible. Retaining a car accident lawyer for support, even when you were only a passenger in a collision, can be hugely helpful in your legal proceedings. An attorney from Hollis Law Firm can help you in the following ways:
- Negotiating with insurance companies
