Should a passenger file a personal injury claim after a car accident?  Absolutely, yes, injured passengers almost always have a claim in Kentucky.  Generally speaking, a passenger cannot be liable for the collision and associated injuries.  However, the process of filing a successful personal injury claim can be a bit different for a passenger than it would be for a driver.

In most cases, a passenger in a motor vehicle accident involving two or more vehicles will file a claim against every driver associated with the accident.  As an injured passenger, it is prudent to seek and write down the insurance information for all drivers.  Kentucky is a comparative fault state, and the fault may lie with either of the drivers or all of them to the extend of their respective level of fault.
