A passenger in a road accident may sue different parties. They can sue the driver of the vehicle they were in. They can also sue the other driver if the accident involves more than one vehicle.
Also, the passenger can sue both drivers. It depends on the circumstances of the accident when it occurs. At other times, the passenger can sue the vehicle manufacturer if a malfunction causes the accident.
It’s usually easier for passengers to claim compensation following a road traffic accident compared to a driver. However, cases, where the passenger sustains injuries, can get complex quickly, so it’s important that you, as the passenger, know your rights.
Enlisting an experienced lawyer helps a passenger understand his or her options. The lawyer assists the passenger in obtaining fair compensation. The passenger may claim compensation for medical as well as rehabilitation costs likely to arise in the future. They may also pursue compensation for lost wages, repair fees, and overall pain as well as suffering.
