If you are a passenger in an auto accident, you can make a claim for personal injuries the same way as if you were the driver. Similar to how a driver can recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, passengers are also entitled to recover from these or any other incurred expenses. In fact, a passenger has greater odds of recovering more damages for their injuries because there are more parties that can be held accountable for his or her injuries.

As with any injury claim, including passenger injuries, be sure to contact a personal injury attorney immediately before speaking to insurance adjusters. Do a simple internet search, and you will see how speaking with insurance adjusters is never wise without counsel. Remember, even your own insurance company doesn't want to pay you any money, no matter how much you are injured. Allstate conducted research, which revealed results that those individuals with attorneys on average collected three times more than those who were left unrepresented.

In fact, using ALLSTATE as an example of a company who holds themselves out as "On your side," ALLSTATE employed a company, McKinsey & Co., which is believed to be hired solely to reduce the money they spend on claims of injured drivers. ALLSTATE was so concerned of revealing a slide show presented by McKinsey, which is believed to be the exact opposite of their motto, "On your side", that they defied a court order to produce the slide show.
