If you are the passenger in a car that is involved in an auto accident, you can collect damages from the at-fault driver, whether it is the driver of the vehicle you are passenger in, the driver of another vehicle, or both. You should receive full and fair compensation for any medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering you endure as a result of the accident.
Your best course of action is to consult with an experienced motor vehicle accident attorney as soon as possible, especially if you are being pressured by either driver’s insurance company to sign a settlement. There are a number of ways you may be compensated, and a skilled attorney will be able to look at your case to determine which driver, or if both drivers should be held responsible for your damages!
