Passenger Injuries in Nevada
Whenever a passenger is injured during a Missouri car accident, they might not know where to turn for help and the best way to seek financial compensation for their injuries. Regarding car accidents, Missouri adheres to fault-based/comparative negligence insurance regulations. A vehicle’s passenger, however, is not impacted by comparative negligence because they can’t be held accountable for any part of the collision. When it comes to which driver’s insurance policy an injured passenger should look to for monetary compensation, car insurance laws can be very complex.
When victims are injured in accidents resulting from the negligence of other motorists, it is important that they seek legal guidance as soon as possible. Victims may be entitled to compensation that can help cover the costs of care and other expenses moving forward.
