Were you Injured While Riding as a Passenger in a Car?
Passenger injuries are often among the most severe in a car accident because the victim often has no time to brace and prepare for the collision. Every year, hundreds of car and motorcycle passengers are injured on Idaho roads. Unfortunately many injured passengers try settling with the insurance adjustor, only to get involved in a complex legal mess.

Here is a basic fact that insurance companies don't want you to know: If you were injured while riding as a passenger in a car, you are generally entitled to recover compensation for your injuries, even if your own driver was found to be completely at fault. Only the most unusual circumstances of gross negligence on the passenger's part (such as knowingly getting into a car with a drunk driver) will prevent you from seeking damages for your injuries and losses.
What to do after an accident? Don't talk to an insurance adjustor. Just don't.

Insurance law is complex and insurance adjustors are looking for every opportunity to minimize settlements.

If you were the innocent passenger in a car accident, you simply have too much to lose.
