Kansas City Car Accident Passengers Have Rights Too

If you've ever been in a car accident you know that the crash and the injuries that you suffer are not always your fault. What if you are a passenger in a car and the driver causes an accident because of his or her own careless actions? Are you responsible for your medical bills? What if you have to miss work?

Early on Tuesday morning, a strange situation developed but it's one we've seen many times before. A motorist struck a mailbox and rolled over, seriously injuring the passenger, a female. The driver, a male, attempted to flee on foot but was detained by Kansas City Police. The woman was hospitalized and her condition is considered critical at this time.

As experienced Kansas City Auto Injury Lawyers we've seen this before. Fleeing the scene of an accident usually means you're trying to hide more than just a car accident. We won't make any presumptions about this case but it's tragic to know this man left his female passenger, who has critically injured, at the scene. We hope she is able to recover from injuries and gets the help she needs.

As a passenger in a car accident, what are your rights? You're not the one who caused the accident so what can you do to take care of yourself. If you're seriously injured in a car accident as a passenger, you may have rights your insurance company isn't telling you about.
