What if I am a passenger in a car being driven by my spouse or other relative?

 

PASSENGER IN FAMILY MEMBER’S CAR OR MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT

You can be compensated for your injury in a car accident even if your spouse or relative was driving and caused the accident. It doesn’t even matter if you own the car involved in the accident. Every MN auto policy covers that situation. It is part of what was purchased by paying the premiums. For more information, see our blog post about passenger’s rights.

Our top car accident lawyers recover insurance compensation for people who were a passenger injured when their husband or wife or relative was driving and was at fault / caused an accident. You can even get car insurance compensation if you are injured because your child caused the accident while you were a passenger. It doesn’t matter that the insurance policy is in your name. You are still entitled to compensation for medical bills, wage loss and more.
