Passenger Accident Injuries

A variety of situational factors play a role in determining the extent of passenger accident injuries. Depending upon the force of the impact involved in the crash, as well as the location of impact, passengers sitting in the vehicle are subject to serious injury. For example, a side impact collision commonly strikes the passenger side of the vehicle. In this case, it is more likely that the passenger actually suffered more severe injuries than that of the driver. Regardless of what type of car accident occurs, passengers are susceptible to a wide range of damages.

The following are some of the most common passenger accident injuries:

  • Bone fractures
  • Internal injuries
  • Whiplash
  • Back and neck injuries
  • Rib and torso injuries
  • Burns
  • Lacerations
  • Seat belt injuries
  • Head injuries
  • Death

From public transportation to taxi cabs and from large trucks to motorcycles, any injury suffered due to the negligence of another makes the at-fault party vulnerable to a personal injury lawsuit . When the operator of a privately owned vehicle make a careless decision that causes a crash, Gordon & Partners believes that they must be held liable for the injuries and damages in which they cause to innocent accident victims.

Florida Auto Insurance Protection

The state of Florida adheres to the no-fault law in regard to auto insurance. The no-fault law was established in order to provide protection for Florida drivers with car insurance. In the event that an accident occurs, a motorist with valid Florida auto insurance is protected, regardless of who is to blame for causing the collision. According to the law, Florida motorists must carry a minimum of $10,000 for personal injury protection and a minimum of $10,000 for property damage liability.

When the passenger in the vehicle which was involved in an accident suffers injury, they may need to file a claim under the insurance policy of the vehicle’s owner. In fact, there are even cases where the passenger may file under the at-fault party’s insurance company. Due to the complexities involved in passenger accident injuries, many Florida residents choose to access professional legal services. In doing so, they are not only ensuring a fair, honest case proceeding, but they are also ensuring that no avenue goes untraveled. In these situations, it is critical for the accident victims to understand all of the possible options of recovering compensation.

Passenger Exclusions in Traffic Crashes

When a passenger attempts to make a claim for benefits on another person’s personal injury protection coverage, there are cases where exclusions exist, thus disallowing the passenger to claim benefits from an outsider’s policy. These complications make the litigation process a bit trickier, as insurance companies may deny the passenger the benefits in which they are requesting. The following are some of the most commonly seen passenger exclusions:

  • The passenger used the vehicle without permission
  • The passenger has a licensed car currently
  • The passenger contributed to the crash in some way
