Passenger Car Accident
Passengers in Car Accident or Vehicular Accident Personal Injury Cases
Passengers in the front and rear of a vehicle during an auto accident can often be injured worse than the drivers. Often an injured passenger is the least prepared for a sudden impact and can be jarred and injured easily.
Close Relationships
At times the passenger in a vehicle may very well be related or friends with the driver of one or more of the automobiles involved in an accident. In these circumstances it may be necessary to bring a lawsuit against a family member or friend in order for an insurance company to pay a passenger’s personal injury claim. We understand this can be a difficult position for many. We have worked with family members and others to the greatest extent possible to ensure their case is advanced professionally but without offending another family member or friend.
Minors
There are times when a child is a passenger in an accident. This can even occur when a parent is responsible or partially responsible for the accident. We can work with the family to find the best arrangement and to protect the best interests of the child in these complicated claims.
Insurance Coverage Issues
There are additional challenges that can arise in a passenger accident, especially with respect to insurance and medical care coverage. What you think would make senses is not always the right answer. Our experienced attorneys can work with you to understand the complicated maze of insurance coverage that may be involved. Failure to follow the rules and procedures correctly could lead to you being personally responsible for an unpaid medical bill down the road. To avoid this, you need to understand your rights and have someone who can assert them on your behalf.
