In Georgia, a passenger in a car involved in an auto accident can recover damages if the driver was guilty of negligence leading to the accident. Also, a passenger can recover from a driver’s uninsured or underinsured policy even if the driver is not negligent.
If you’ve been in a car wreck that was caused by your negligence, your auto insurance company will get you an insurance defense lawyer as part of its coverage. However, if the crash was not your fault, you should check with the personal injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Michael L. Neff to see if your auto insurance can help injured passengers.
