FAQ

What if the driver was my friend or family member?

Short Answer

Quick guidance

It is normal to feel uncomfortable, but passenger injury claims are usually handled through insurance coverage rather than personal payment from the driver.

Full Answer

Many passengers stay quiet because the driver was someone they care about. But if you were injured, you should still understand what insurance coverage may be available. A claim does not automatically mean you are trying to punish someone personally; it may be the way medical bills, lost wages, and injury impacts are addressed after the crash.
