My teenager was injured in a Kansas City auto accident. She wasn't driving, but she was riding with a friend. The friend was at fault. Who pays for my daughter's injuries?

In most cases, when the driver of a car causes a Missouri car accident, the driver's insurance company is responsible for compensating any passengers that were injured. This is especially true if the driver was engaging in any type of reckless behavior.

Your first step is to file a claim against the driver's insurance company. The insurance company will offer a settlement. You will want to make sure that there is enough money to cover your current medical bills, your child's pain and suffering, and lost income, and any future costs associated with the accident. The best way to do this is by scheduling a free consultation with an accident injury lawyer in Kansas City before accepting any amount.
