\"\"At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we have found that some people don\u2019t seem to realise that if they were the innocent passenger injured in a car crash, they have one of the best prospects of a successful claim for compensation<\/a> you can get.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter whether the accident was the fault of the driver who\u2019s car you were in or whether the accident was caused by some other vehicle – you were the passenger, and unless you did something daft like pull the handbrake, grab the steering wheel or severely distract the driver to cause the accident, there is little way you can be said to have been at fault for the accident.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

More often than not liability for your accident and injuries will be admitted straightaway, and it\u2019s just a matter of getting medical evidence<\/strong> and settling your claim<\/strong>, which doesn\u2019t take long at all.
\n
\nPeople are also seemingly put off making a claim for compensation where they were a passenger if it was the fault of the driver who was their family or friend.\u00a0 This is understandable because they don\u2019t like the thought of potentially suing their friend of family.\u00a0 Not to worry, you won\u2019t be pursuing them; as your compensation will come from their insurer instead.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

At the end of the day this is exactly why car insurance is compulsory – so that if people are injured they can be compensated, along with damaged cars being able to get repaired or replaced<\/strong>.\u00a0 Your claim will be submitted directly to the driver\u2019s insurer and they will deal with the claim, and if they consider the driver was at fault, they will pay you the compensation you duly deserve.\u00a0 It\u2019s not like your family member or friend will have to go to the nearest cash machine and fetch you \u00a31,000.00 in compensation!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s better nowadays with passenger claims is that, under a new system that was introduced back in April 2010, your claim can be settled fast!\u00a0 All you have to do now is submit a Claim Notification Form<\/strong> (\u2018CNF\u2019) online and wait for the Defendant\u2019s insurer to acknowledge it and admit liability.\u00a0 Your expert injury lawyer will do all this for you, and this process should only take a few weeks weeks.\u00a0 After that it\u2019s just a matter of getting medical evidence and settling your claim which shouldn\u2019t take too much time either.<\/p>\n
