I was in an accident as a passenger; my relative was driving the car, and he was to blame for the accident. Can I file a claim and against whom?

Yes, you absolutely can. If the accident was someone else's fault, you have the right to compensation for your injuries and other losses, regardless of whether you were driving.

Who do I claim against?

Usually, it's your driver's insurance that pays out:

  • The driver was your relative or loved one: Many might be deterred by the moral implications of making a claim. It’s important to understand that your claim would be against the insurance company, not your family member personally, as the insurer is obligated to address claims that arise due to the insured’s actions. However, to maintain family harmony, it's probably wise to discuss the situation with your family first.

Why use "it happens"?

  • We know passenger claims: We've got the experience to get you the best possible outcome, no matter how complex the situation seems.
  • It's not just about the injuries: We help claim for lost wages, travel costs related to your injuries, and any impact on your life.
  • We work on a "No Win, No Fee" basis in most cases: So, there's no financial risk to get started.
