Important things That You Should Know

According to the Motor Insurers Bureau, passengers involved in a car accident can file a claim even if they were travelling in an uninsured vehicle.

Common Injuries In Car Accidents

Spinal injury

Head injury

Broken bones

Amputations

Burns

Fatalities

Passengers can take measures to decrease the probability of sustaining a life-altering injury by wearing their seat belts, avoid distracting the driver from the road, and encourage the driver not to use their mobile phone while driving.

According to the seat belt law of the United Kingdom, in private cars, every adult over the age of 14 is responsible for

wearing a seat belt and ensuring people under the age of 14 wear the car’s seat belt

Passenger Compensation Claim

Passengers can make a car passenger accident claim if the driver of the vehicle caused the accident or if another person’s negligence caused the accident. The claim may include:

The costs of any specifically organized rehabilitative treatment or private physiotherapy

Lost earning following an accident that prevented you from going to work or any injury that led you to work part time

Assistance and care offered by relatives and friends if you found yourself incapable of looking after yourself

The costs of replacing or mending damaged or lost possessions and clothing after the car accident

While there are judicial guidelines stating the range of compensation for different kinds of injuries, the compensation also depends on the specific nature of each case.

Moreover, other losses like loss of earnings, travel and medical expenses can vary the amount to a great extent.
