Additionally, if you
get into a vehicle knowing that the driver
is intoxicated, you may have “assumed the
risk” of being in an accident. If you are
a passenger and you are injured in a vehicular
accident, you may receive compensation for
your injuries. Be sure that you see a doctor
immediately.
As a passenger, you
may have a claim against all negligent parties,
which can include the driver of the car
you were riding in when the accident occurred,
as well as the drivers of other vehicles
involved. It is vitally important that get
as much information about the circumstances
as possible – who was driving each car,
what happened, the weather or road conditions,
any witnesses, etc.
Your independent information may be the key to receiving compensation for your injuries.
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury as a passenger in a motor vehicle, call the Law Office of James C. DeZao 1-866-919-9229. The initial consultation is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. Therefore, please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
