Driver and Passenger Injuries

New England Car Accident Injury Lawyer

Many people do not realize that injured passengers in a car accident always have the right to make a personal injury claim, whether or not their driver was at fault. At Dane Shulman Associates, LLC, we often receive questions from people injured in car accidents wondering whether they can file an injury claim if their own driver was at fault. The answer is a clear yes. The passenger of a car injured in an accident always has the right to file for money damages.

Contact us to discuss the circumstances of your accident and the type of injuries you suffered. We can help you determine what your best legal options are for recovering money damages to pay for your medical bills, lost earnings, and suffering that resulted from the accident.

Will the driver have to pay money damages for your personal injury?

Insurance liability laws differ in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. Massachusetts drivers carry an insurance surcharge based on property damage and coverage for passenger injuries. Even if the driver of your vehicle was 100% at fault, chances are the impact of a lawsuit on his or her insurance rates will be minimal. When we meet to discuss your personal injury we will explain how the law will impact your particular case.

We can help you recover money damages for personal injuries such as:

• Whiplash, neck injury
• Concussions, closed head injuries
• Traumatic brain damage, TBI
• Paralysis, quadriplegia, spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones
• Burns, disfigurement

Don’t take your injuries lightly, and don't settle until you talk to us

There is no such thing as a minor whiplash or neck injury. Nerve and muscle damage can result in serious pain and rehabilitation for years. A closed head injury such as a concussion can lead to severe brain damage if not treated properly, and can mean expensive medical bills and loss of earnings for your family. Before you settle with an insurance company adjustor for an insufficient amount, call us. We will help you decide what your best options are for obtaining the money you are entitled to.
