Orlando Lawyer for Passengers In Car Accidents

Passengers in motor vehicles who are injured in accidents often don’t realize they are able to recover compensation for their injuries — even if the accident was caused by the driver of the car they were riding in.

Because passengers are rarely at fault for an accident, they have the right to make a claim against all other drivers, as well as their own insurance companies, to make sure they are fully compensated for their loss.

The experienced personal injury lawyers at Main Law Firm can review the facts of your accident and recommend the best steps to take next.

Common Causes For Car Passenger Accidents in Orlando

Car passenger accidents can occur due to a variety of reasons, including but not limited to:

  • Distracted Driving: Drivers texting or using their phone, adjusting the GPS, or other distractions that lead to a loss of focus.

  • Driver Intoxication: Incidents involving alcohol or drug impairment that result in reduced reaction times and poor judgment.

  • Speeding and Reckless Driving: Excessive speed and reckless behavior significantly increase the risk of severe accidents.

  • Poor Road Conditions: Uneven road surfaces, potholes, and lack of proper signage can lead to accidents.

  • Rideshare Specific Issues: Rideshare drivers may be unfamiliar with the area, rely too heavily on navigation systems, or work long hours leading to fatigue.

Each of these scenarios presents unique challenges and legal questions, particularly when dealing with rideshare companies that often have robust legal representation themselves.

Learn About Your Options From Our Florida Passenger Injury Attorney

If you were injured in a car accident, you may be faced with some large medical bills and lost wages. No one should shoulder this kind of financial hit alone, yet many people are hesitant to file a claim against the insurance company of their friend or another family member who was driving when the accident occurred.

It is important to emphasize that you are collecting from the driver’s insurance company, not taking money from the driver personally. In fact, these unfortunate incidents are precisely why drivers buy insurance.

Our Orlando attorney for passengers in car accidents, Jed Main, can review the facts of your accident as well as the insurance coverage of those involved to help you determine where to turn for financial compensation. Police do not have to determine driver liability in order for passengers to recover compensation in personal injury claims.
