FAQ

Who pays for my injuries if I was a passenger in a car accident?

Short Answer

Quick guidance

Payment may come from one or more insurance policies, depending on who caused the crash and what coverage applies.

Full Answer

Possible sources can include the at-fault driver's liability insurance, the other driver's insurance, medical payments coverage, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, rideshare coverage, or commercial vehicle coverage. Passenger claims can become complicated when drivers blame each other or when policy limits are low.
