Passenger Injury Compensation Options

Summary

Compensation for passengers injured in vehicle incidents depends on the drivers insurance policy. In Missouri, personal injury protection (PIP) or liability insurance may cover medical bills. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage might also apply. Request insurance details from the driver or their insurer. Consult a local attorney to negotiate settlements for medical expenses and pain and suffering.

Hello ****, compensation depends on the insurance policy. If they have personal injury protection or medical payments coverage, it may cover your injuries. However, insurance laws vary by state. Can you please tell me which state you're in to provide more accurate information?

In Missouri:
- If the driver has personal injury protection (PIP), it may cover your medical bills.
- If the driver is at fault, you can claim under their liability insurance.
- You might also be eligible for compensation under uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, if applicable.
I'd advise consulting a local attorney to understand your rights better.
