Passenger Accident Compensation Claims Solicitors

At claimssolicitors.co.uk our team of no win, no fee solicitors have a wide range of experience of road accident claims on behalf of passengers who have been in an accident.

If you are a passenger on any type of transport and you suffer personal injury as a result of a road accident there is it very likely that you can make a successful passenger accident injury claim. You can make an injury claim for your pain and suffering as well as any financial losses such as wages, physiotherapy charges, costs of care etc.

Road accidents are the biggest reason for passenger claims and the resultant injuries suffered can often be more severe than driver injuries. Injury claims for any passenger in a vehicle are completely separate from any made by the driver. Furthermore as all drivers have a duty of care to their passengers, a road accident claim may be made even if the at fault driver was at the wheel of the car in which you were travelling. Understandably many people are reluctant to sue for damages if the driver is a relative or friend. The claim will be against the driver's insurance company and that should not stop you from making a personal injury claim.

You are counted as a passenger if you are:

A front or back seat passenger in a car
A passenger in a van or truck
Riding pillion on a motorcycle

You can also make a passenger accident claim if you are a passenger on public transport i.e:

A bus or coach passenger
A train passenger
A taxi passenger
A ferry passenger
