How Passenger Injury Claims Work in Marble Falls, TX
Passengers are in a different position from drivers after a car accident in Texas. They usually did nothing to cause it, so fault is typically less of an issue. Texas also no longer has a law limiting claims by unpaid riders. A passenger can generally pursue the driver of their own vehicle, the driver of another vehicle or both, depending on who was responsible.
Coverage can come from several places. PIP on the vehicle a passenger was riding in typically pays medical bills and part of lost income regardless of fault, up to its limits. A passenger's own household policy may add PIP, or provide uninsured motorist coverage if the at-fault driver doesn't have enough insurance. A liability claim then goes against the policy of whichever driver caused the harm.
Problems usually start when several people in one vehicle need treatment at the same time. Texas requires only $30,000 per person and $60,000 in total for bodily injury coverage, so passengers may end up sharing a limited pool of money. A car accident lawyer can identify every policy that may apply and help sort out how limited coverage is divided among several claims.
