If you were injured as a passenger in a car, taxi, bus, or other vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation. Passengers are almost never at fault for an accident, making claims straightforward with the right legal support.
Passenger Accident Claims
Passengers injured in vehicle accidents are rarely at fault. We help injured passengers claim compensation for injuries and losses caused by drivers or third parties.
When You Can Claim
You may be eligible to make a passenger accident claim if:
- The accident happened within the last 3 years
- You were not the at-fault driver
- You suffered injury, trauma, or financial loss
Common Passenger Accident Scenarios
- Rear-end collisions while travelling as a passenger
- Injuries during bus or taxi accidents
- Accidents caused by driver distraction or speeding
- Multi-vehicle collisions where liability is unclear
- Incidents involving uninsured or hit-and-run drivers
Compensation Can Cover
- Whiplash and other physical injuries
- Psychological trauma from the crash
- Loss of earnings due to time off work
- Medical treatment and rehabilitation
- Travel, aftercare, and support costs
Uninsured and Hit-and-Run Cases
If the at-fault driver was uninsured or fled the scene, we can pursue your claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB). Our solicitors handle these complex claims efficiently.
What If the Driver You Were With Was Partly At Fault?
Even if the driver of your vehicle shares blame, you can still claim compensation. We investigate liability across all parties to protect your right to recover damages.
Passenger Claims for Children
If your child was injured as a passenger, you can make a claim on their behalf. Although the legal time limit starts on their 18th birthday, it’s best to act early while evidence is fresh.
Compensation Amounts
- Minor injuries like whiplash: £1,000 – £3,000
- Severe passenger injuries: £25,000+
Compensation varies based on injury severity, financial loss, and recovery needs.
