Can a Passenger File an Injury Claim?
Yes. Passengers who are injured in car accidents generally have the right to pursue compensation, regardless of which driver caused the crash.
You may have a claim against:
• The driver of the vehicle you were in
• Another driver involved in the accident

Because passengers are rarely responsible for the accident, these claims are often strong when properly handled.
