Passenger accidents
When a road traffic accident happens, it is not just a driver who gets hurt. Passengers travelling in the vehicle may also be injured.
The basis of personal injury law is that anyone who is injured through no fault of their own deserves to be put in the position they were in before the accident. As a passenger, it is unlikely that your actions caused the accident. If you are an innocent party, the law says that you can bring an action against whoever was to blame.
To find out if you can make a passenger accident claim, contact us. We can talk to you and tell you whether you are eligible to claim compensation. It does not matter what kind of vehicle you were travelling in. Passenger accident claims can be made by those who were travelling –
- In a car or van
- On a motorcycle
- In a bus
- On a plane, boat or train

Do you know the driver responsible?
You may be embarrassed or anxious about doing this, especially if you know the driver at fault. You may have been in a friend or family member’s car when the accident happened? Do not worry. Your claim is made against the driver’s insurance company. It is the insurer that will pay the damages for your compensation, not your friend or relative.
If you were injured while travelling on public transport, a claim is made against the company.
What if the driver does not have insurance?
If the driver is found not to have insurance, or leaves the scene of the accident, a claim can usually be made to the Motor Insurers’ Bureau. We can help you with this.
Passenger accident claims for children
Often, injured passengers are under the age of 18. Minors cannot bring a personal injury claim on their own. However, a parent or other responsible adult can pursue a claim on a child’s behalf. If your child has been injured while travelling as a passenger in a vehicle, we can explain what to do.
What if I wasn’t wearing a seatbelt?
The law states that everyone must wear a seatbelt, if the vehicle they are travelling in is fitted with one. If you were not wearing a seatbelt when the accident happened, the other side may argue that you are partly responsible for your injuries. Your compensation may be reduced by around 25% but you can still recover 75% of your claim. So, even if this is a factor, you can still make a claim.
Passenger accident solicitors
Sometimes, an insurance company will offer you an early settlement of your claim or a lump sum for the injuries suffered by you and your children.
We strongly advise against accepting any offers until you have asked us for advice. Each injured person is entitled to have their own claim fully investigated – including children. In doing this, you will make sure that you (and your loved ones) receive the correct amount of compensation.
