Passengers
It is important to remember if you are injured as a passenger that you can bring a personal injury claim not only if you are hit by another vehicle, but also if the person driving the car causes an accident. Often you will know this person, but this does not mean that you cannot bring a claim for compensation. You are still the victim of an accident which was not your fault so you will be entitled to bring a claim. Your compensation will be paid by an insurance company not by the driver. Many successful claims are made by children against parents and sometimes vice versa!
You should also bear in mind as a passenger that because you are not in control of the vehicle yourself it is likely to be very easy to prove that the accident was not your fault. Therefore, attention can be focused on your rehabilitation and obtaining your compensation as soon as possible.
