COMPENSATION FOR PASSENGER WHEN DRIVER ON METH CAUSED ACCIDENT – ATTORNEY
Our top car accident lawyers handle cases caused by the driver of a car being high on methamphetamine. Meth is a big problem in Minnesota. Being high can seriously impair the decision making and reaction time of a driver. In two of our cases where the driver was high on meth, the injuries were very serious.
If you are a passenger in a car, and the driver gets into an accident because he or she was on meth, you are entitled to compensation. This usually comes from the driver’s auto insurance. However, there can also be auto insurance from the owner of the vehicle, or even your own auto insurance. Of course, you might be questioned for getting in the car if you knew the driver was on drugs. Our lawyers will discuss that issue with you when you call.
As a starting point, the car accident passenger is entitled to No-Fault insurance. No Fault insurance pays for medical bills and wage loss. When you call our office, a lawyer will provide you with a free consultation and help get your No-Fault benefits compensation started. When a passenger is injured because of the driver’s fault, the passenger is also entitled to additional compensation. The amount of compensation depends on the seriousness of the injury. This additional compensation can come from the driver or vehicle owner’s auto insurance – depending on the seriousness of the injury. Sometimes there is also additional compensation available if the driver of the vehicle was high on meth at the time of the crash.
