Passenger Rights in an Accident

Protecting the Rights of Injured Passengers

If you are injured as a passenger in a motor vehicle accident, you may have a legal case against the drivers of both vehicles. In order to collect full compensation for everything you have lost in the accident, you should contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible.

Almost 20% of the people injured or killed in motor vehicle accidents are passengers. Unfortunately, most of those injured as passengers in another person's vehicle don't know that they have the right to seek monetary compensation for damages incurred as a result of the accident. If you were injured as a passenger, attorney Tom Reinecke can help.

What if My Friend Was Driving the Car?

In California, passengers who are injured in car accidents have a right to sue the negligent driver — even if the accident was caused by the driver of the vehicle they were in.

Many people are hesitant to sue if a friend was driving the car. However, in reality you will be suing your friend's insurance company, not your friend personally. Filing a personal injury lawsuit is a practical way to pay for damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and your pain and suffering.

As your attorney, Tom Reinecke will advise you how to handle a situation in which you need to sue a friend's insurance company. Mr. Reinecke will investigate all sources of insurance coverage so you can recover full compensation for everything you have lost in an accident.
