Seek Legal Representation from Our Experienced Firm
You have been involved in a car accident and you were not driving, you have the right to take legal action and pursue financial compensation for your injuries. As passengers are not held liable for a car crash, the fault lies with drivers involved, potentially including the driver of the vehicle you were in and drivers of other vehicles.
If you were injured as a passenger in a car collision in San Francisco, The Matiasic Firm can evaluate your case, determine all your legal options and recover significant compensation on your behalf. With hundreds of millions recovered for our clients, we understand what it takes to obtain a maximum award for damages to cover medical bills, lost wages, as well as pain and suffering.
Filing a Passenger Injury Claim
Given that one of the drivers is liable for the accident, passengers who suffer injuries in a wreck typically have an easier case to prove. If a collision involves two cars, one of the drivers is going to be held liable. However, if the accident involves one car, the driver could still be to blame as could a hazardous road condition.
A passenger injury claim can be filed against all drivers involved in the crash. If one driver is not obviously at fault, it is important to obtain the insurance information for each motorist and file claims with each driver’s insurer.
Once you have completed medical treatment, you can go ahead and settle your case with the help of an experienced injury attorney. If both drivers could be to blame, you (or your attorney) has to negotiate with the insurance companies of both parties.
Committed to Recovering Your Entitled Compensation
