About Passenger Accident Claims
If you have been the passenger in a road traffic accident then you may be able to claim. Whether you were in a car, public transport, or were the passenger of another type of vehicle or transport you have the right to claim for any injuries that you have suffered.
The accidents could be caused by a road user driving carelessly, recklessly, or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Passengers who are injured in a road accident could sustain a range of injuries, including:
- Whiplash
- Broken bones
- Back and neck injuries
- Serious head and spinal injuries
- Loss of limbs
- Paralysis
- Fatal injuries.
What is my Passenenger Accident Claim worth?
For a road traffic accident claim, there is no fixed compensation amount for road traffic accident claims. The amount of compensation that you will be due is based off a number of factors, these include the injuries suffered and the impact the accident had on your day-to-day life.
Compensation amounts widely vary from around £2,000 for soft-tissue whiplash injuries all the way up to 5 figure amounts for claimants with more severe injuries.
