Your Driver
There is a common misconception in regards to passenger accident compensation claims that you cannot sue your own driver, that is the driver of the vehicle in which you are traveling but that is simply not the case. If your driver has been negligent or has contributed to the cause of the accident then that person is liable to pay you damages for personal injury even if the driver is your spouse, child or parent - it does not matter - their insurers must still pay compensation.

Passenger Liability?
There are almost no circumstances in which an injured passenger cannot claim damages from one or all of the drivers involved and even in multiple vehicle collisions where liability is initially far from clear, passenger accident compensation claims are almost always successful. It should be noted however that the Motor Insurers Bureau which pays compensation to the victims of uninsured drivers will consider the passengers knowledge of the lack of a drivers insurance as a relevant factor and passengers who deliberately distract a driver and cause an accident may find it difficult to establish negligence against a driver who may in any event sue that passenger for compensation.
