I was riding in my friends car and we got in an accident. Can I make a claim to recover compensation for my injuries?
A. Passengers injured in car accidents have the right to make a claim. Rules vary from state to state, but generally you can make a claim against the driver of the car you were in (if the accident was his fault), or the other driver (if he caused the accident). If the other driver has no insurance, you may be able to get money from your own insurance company or your drivers insurance company. If you are a passenger hurt in an auto accident, your lawyer can tell you about possible sources for recovering damages for your situation.
