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

PASSENGER IN FAMILY MEMBER’S CAR ACCIDENT OR MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT

What can you do if you are injured in a car accident where your family member was driving and it was their fault? Family members often drive together in the same car. Do you still have a case if it their fault? The answer is Yes.  You can be compensated for your injury in a car accident even if your spouse or relative was driving and caused the accident. The Rochlin Law Firm handles this case all the time.

It doesn’t even matter if you own the car involved in the accident. In other words, you can be compensated if you are a passenger in your own car driven by another family member. 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 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.
