Harrison County New Middletown Passenger Injuries lawyers
If you are injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries regardless of whether or not you are the driver or the passenger. Depending on the circumstances, a passenger can obtain recovery from many different sources. It is possible for the passenger to receive compensation from the driver of the vehicle he or she was in at the time of the accident, all other drivers involved, or any other negligent person who was a part of the accident. Whether or not a passenger may receive such compensation depends upon the law of negligence. Each individual has a duty to act with reasonable care under the circumstances. If a person fails to act with reasonable care, and were the cause of the passenger´s injuries, that person may be liable for injuries the passenger sustains. On the flipside, a passenger is not typically considered to be at fault or partially at fault for causing an accident unless he or she does something to cause the accident.
If possible, it is important to obtain all relevant information at the scene of an accident independently of the other parties. It is essential that all information and evidence obtained be preserved and thoroughly examined by any necessary experts. If you or a loved one is a victim of an automobile accident, call The Law Offices of Tony Zirkle in New Middletown of Harrison County, Indiana. The initial consultation is free of charge, and if we agree to accept your case, our lawyers will work on a contingent fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary award or recovery of funds. Don't delay! You may have a valid claim and be entitled to compensation for your injuries, but a lawsuit must be filed before the statute of limitations expires.
