< Back Passenger Rights in Car Crashes Michael A. Lombardo, III, HKQ Attorney Aug 19, 2024 What Are My Rights as a Passenger in a Crash? Comprehensive Guide: Legal Rights and Responsibilities of Passengers in Car Crashes Understanding your legal rights and responsibilities as a passenger involved in a car crash is crucial to protect your interests and to pursue compensation for injuries or damages. This guide provides important information on what passengers should do if they are injured in a car crash in Pennsylvania, offering practical steps, legal insights, and guidance to deal with the complex legal issues involved. Legal Standing of Passengers in Car Crashes Passengers in car crashes are generally not considered at fault for the collision, since they do not control the vehicle's operation. Instead, passengers may have legal claims against: Drivers : If the driver of the vehicle in which they were traveling caused the crash because of negligence or recklessness. Other Drivers : If another driver's actions contributed to the crash and resulted in injuries to the passenger. Vehicle Owners : In cases where vehicle defects or maintenance issues contributed to the crash. Unique Considerations for Passenger Claims No-Fault Status : Passengers are typically considered innocent parties in car crashes and can pursue claims against responsible parties without concern for fault. Family Member Claims : In some cases, passengers may be family members traveling in a vehicle driven by another family member. Despite the family relationship, passengers still have legal rights to seek compensation for injuries suffered in the crash. Insurance Coverage : Passengers may be covered under multiple insurance policies, including those of the driver of the vehicle they were in, as well as their own auto insurance policies for uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Immediate Actions After a Car Crash Seek Medical Attention : The health and safety of all involved should be the top priority immediately following a car crash: Assess Injuries : Check yourself and others for injuries. If anyone is injured, call emergency services (911) for medical assistance. Document Injuries : Get medical treatment promptly and keep records of all medical visits, diagnoses, and treatment plans related to injuries suffered in the crash. Document the Crash Scene : Gathering evidence is essential to support your claim for compensation: Collect Information : Get the contact details, insurance information, and statements from witnesses who saw the crash. This information can help establish liability and support your version of events. Photograph and Video Evidence : Use a smartphone or camera to capture images of vehicle damage, road conditions, traffic signs, and any visible injuries suffered by passengers. Legal Consultation : Consulting with an experienced personal injury attorney specializing in car crashes can provide valuable guidance and advocacy: Legal Evaluation : An attorney can assess the circumstances of the crash, review medical records, and determine the strength of your claim against negligent parties. Negotiations and Litigation : Your attorney will negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf to seek fair compensation. If a settlement cannot be reached, they can represent you in court to seek damages. Pennsylvania Laws and Passenger Rights Pennsylvania's legal framework protects passengers' rights in car crashes, emphasizing the importance of seeking legal counsel to navigate complex insurance claims and legal proceedings: Statute of Limitations : In Pennsylvania, passengers typically have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit against responsible parties. Comparative Negligence : If a passenger's actions contributed to their injuries (for example, not wearing a seatbelt), what are called Pennsylvania's “comparative negligence laws” may affect the amount of compensation they can recover.
