Experienced Kansas City Car Accident with Injured Passenger Attorney

Unfortunately, in many auto accident cases parties (including insurance carriers) focus primarily on those who were operating the vehicles involved, and who is at fault rather than injuries sustained by passengers. Whether you were involved in a car or truck crash, you have legal rights as a passenger. There may be one or more parties who are liable, however it is critical your claim is investigated as quickly as possible so that fault can be assessed and your rights protected.

Car accidents that involve an injured passenger can be complex, to say the least. In many situations, it is possible that the fault of the accident may be attributed to several drivers, although passengers who are injured rarely have anything to do with the accident and can avoid issues with insurance companies regarding comparative fault.

Ultimately, an injured passenger in a car, truck, or other auto accident will have a claim that is similar to any other claim of personal injury in an accident that is someone else’s fault, whether one, two, or more drivers are found negligent. Depending on the circumstances and who was at fault, you may file a claim against one or multiple drivers. It is important to obtain insurance information from all parties involved so that you can collect the full damages you are entitled to.
