Passenger compensation claims from car accidents

Filed under: Car Passenger Claim — admin @ 9:20 am

Car passenger compensation claims can be made with ease through us. We have years of experience in gaining maximum compensation for passengers who are innocently injured in a car accident.

When a passenger gets into a car, they are putting their trust in the driver of the car and in most circumstances will reach their destination without any problems.

There are times when the driver of the car may lose concentration or get distracted in some way which may lead to an accident. Of course, sometimes the accident is out of the driver’s control where another road user or pedestrian is at fault for causing the accident. Regardless of who is at fault for the accident, we can help you claim the injury compensation you are entitled to as an injured passenger.

As a passenger the accident would not have been your fault, making a car passenger compensation claim easy to win.

The main injuries suffered by car passengers are whiplash and back injuries from the sudden jolt of the accident.

Any injury sustained would need to be recorded on medical records in order to claim car accident compensation.

To make your claim on a no win no fee basis and to receive all of the compensation awarded please contact us by clicking: Compensation for Car Passengers.

Car Passenger Claim for Injury Compensation

Filed under: Car Passenger Claim, Injury Compensation — admin @ 8:56 pm

A car accident resulting in a car passenger claim for compensation we handled, involved a girl who was sitting in the rear seat with her friend and there was another passenger in the front seat. The car she was in was being driven too fast round a corner when the driver lost control and the car came off the road. The car then went up the kerb and hit a tree, causing the car to come to a sudden stop.

The passengers in the rear were thrown in the car and our client was thrown through the windscreen and knocked unconscious as she had failed to put her seat belt on. This accident caused severe injuries to the passengers and an ambulance attended taking some of the passengers to hospital.

The police attended the scene and took statements from all involved, the car was written off.

Our client suffered cuts, whiplash and back injuries as a result of the car accident. As a seat belt was not being worn by the passenger, the compensation awarded was reduced by 25%.

The accident highlights the dangers of not wearing a seat belt and our client said she would not go in a car again without wearing the seat belt as she now realises the dangers of not wearing it.

Any passenger injured in a car accident will receive maximum compensation for injuries suffered. No reduction of compensation is made if the seat belt was worn. Car passenger claims are among the easiest to win as passengers are not at fault for the accident.

If you have been injured in a car accident and would like to make a car passenger claim for compensation, please call our friendly staff on 0845 10 88 333 or claim by clicking: Car Passenger Claim.

*100% compensation does not apply to untraced drivers or Criminal Injury (assault). In such accident claims a percentage of the compensation may be deducted by the solicitor.
