\"passengerUltimately as a passenger you normally have a guaranteed compensation claim<\/a><\/strong> so long as a collision took place. As a passenger, unless you did anything daft like yanked the handbrake or barked in the drivers face and put them off, you can\u2019t really be held responsible when you have no control over the vehicle or the collision<\/strong>. As an innocent passenger, someone else is at fault, so you normally have a guaranteed claim.<\/p>\n

As a passenger, you have the same rights as any innocent driver to make a claim for compensation. Don\u2019t think you have no right just because you don\u2019t own any of the vehicles involved \u2013 you\u2019re still covered by the insurers<\/strong>!

We believe in acting fast when it comes to making a claim for personal injury compensation<\/a><\/strong>.
