Passenger Injured in an Accident?

Whether you were riding with a friend, a relative, or another driver, being injured as a passenger in an auto accident can be confusing, frustrating, and stressful. Not only are you hurt and in pain, but you might be wondering:

How am I going to pay my medical bills when I can’t work?
Am I filling out my paperwork correctly?
Whose insurance pays for my injuries?

Don’t Trust the Other Insurance Company

You might be relieved to know that your own insurance typically covers you if you’re hurt as a passenger in a car accident – depending on what you choose for your plan. But many times, you may run into problems with the at-fault party’s insurance company. They delay handling your claim, deny you were hurt in the accident, and defend their decision in lengthy court battles.

So what should you do? Follow these guidelines:

Don’t sign any papers until you talk with an attorney. If you take a settlement, the insurance company doesn’t owe you another cent.
Don’t let the insurance company record you "for accuracy purposes." They’ll use it against you later.

If you don’t have car insurance, coverage may still be available for you. Read our Car Accident FAQs for information about what you can do.

I Don’t Want to File a Claim Against My Friend or Relative

Even if you face huge medical bills and months not being able to work, we know that the last thing you want to do is sue your friend or family member. Chances are you won’t have to.

Here’s another secret that insurance adjusters don’t want you to know – the money you get for your injuries is paid by the insurance company, not the people you care about.

Maybe you’re afraid of making your friend’s or relative’s insurance cost go up. But remember, the premium will likely go up anyway if he or she is responsible. And if someone else hit the car you and your friend or relative were in, you’ll probably file against the guilty party’s insurance company.

As we investigate your case, we also look for signs of dangerous road construction, defective products, bad road conditions, and other things that might have played a role in causing the accident.
