Personal Injury: The Impact of Social Media...
If you have been injured as a passenger in a road traffic accident, it can be a distressing and perhaps even, a life-altering experience. As a passenger, you place your trust in the driver of the vehicle you are travelling in, expecting them to prioritise your safety.
However, when accidents occur, you can be left facing physical pain, emotional distress, and possibly financial strain through no fault of your own.

As a passenger, you are rarely at fault for an accident, meaning you have a strong legal right to claim compensation if you have been injured due to the negligence of another party. Whether the accident was caused by the driver of the vehicle you were in or another road user, you may be entitled to make a claim.
Determining liability can sometimes be complex, especially if multiple vehicles were involved. Identifying the responsible party is the first step in making a claim, and gathering evidence such as witness statements, dash cam footage, and police reports can be crucial in proving fault. Our expert team at Lanyon Bowdler will help you navigate this process, ensuring all necessary evidence is collected and presented effectively.
No matter the circumstances, we are here to provide clear, practical advice and work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for your claim.

Being involved in a road traffic accident as a passenger can lead to a wide range of injuries, from minor whiplash to severe and life-changing conditions such as spinal injuries or head trauma. These injuries can have a profound impact on your daily life, affecting your ability to work, carry out everyday tasks, and enjoy the activities you once did with ease.
While your physical recovery is paramount, the financial and emotional strain that follows an accident can be overwhelming. You may face medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and loss of earnings if you are unable to work, all of which can add to the stress of your situation. Making a passenger injury claim can help to ease these burdens by securing compensation that reflects the full extent of the impact on your life.
At Lanyon Bowdler, our experienced personal injury solicitors are dedicated to guiding you through the claims process with sensitivity and professionalism. We work diligently to ensure you receive the compensation you need to cover your medical treatment, rehabilitation, and any financial losses you have suffered, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—your recovery and future wellbeing.
Every passenger injury claim is unique, and the compensation awarded will depend on several factors, including the severity of your injuries and the impact they have had on your life. When assessing your claim, both we and ultimately the courts will take into account:
At Lanyon Bowdler, we use our experience, understanding, and tenacity, to ensure that any compensation awarded is fair and fully reflects your individual circumstances. Our team will work diligently to secure a settlement that supports both your immediate and long-term needs.
We understand that financial concerns can add to the stress of your recovery, which is why we aim to secure compensation as efficiently as possible while ensuring that nothing gets overlooked in achieving the best outcome for you.
Establishing liability is a crucial part of any passenger injury claim. As a passenger, you are generally not responsible for the accident, which makes it easier to prove that another party was at fault. Liability could rest with the driver of the vehicle you were in, another motorist, or even the local authority if poor road conditions contributed to the crash.
Our specialist solicitors have extensive experience in gathering the necessary evidence to support your case, including police reports, medical records, witness statements, and, where needed, expert accident reconstruction analysis. We will take care of the legal complexities so that you can focus on your recovery with confidence in our ability to secure the compensation you deserve.
If the driver of the vehicle you were in did not have valid insurance at the time of the accident, you may still be entitled to compensation. The Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) exists to protect victims of uninsured or hit-and-run drivers, providing a route to claim the compensation you deserve. Our experienced team can assist you in making a claim through the MIB, ensuring that you are supported every step of the way.
Taxi and rideshare companies such as Uber have a legal duty to ensure passenger safety. If you were injured while travelling in a taxi or rideshare vehicle due to the negligence of the driver or another road user, you may have grounds to claim compensation. Such claims can sometimes be complex due to the involvement of multiple insurance providers, but our team has the expertise to navigate these challenges and secure the best outcome for you.
Although UK law requires passengers to wear seatbelts, not wearing one does not necessarily prevent you from making a claim. However, it may affect the amount of compensation you receive, as the court may decide that your injuries were made worse by not wearing a seatbelt. Our solicitors will provide honest advice on how this might impact your claim and work to ensure you receive fair compensation.
Yes, even if the driver of the vehicle you were in was not responsible for the accident, you can still make a claim against the party at fault. Whether another driver, poor road conditions, or even a mechanical failure was to blame, we will thoroughly investigate your case to determine liability and pursue the appropriate claim on your behalf.
As a passenger, you are not responsible for the operation of the vehicle and therefore cannot typically be held liable for an accident. However, in rare cases, such as if you interfered with the driver’s control of the vehicle, you could share some responsibility. Our legal team will assess your situation and provide expert advice on your rights and options.
Financial concerns should never prevent you from seeking justice if you’ve been injured as a passenger in a vehicle due to an accident caused by the fault or negligence of someone else. That’s why we offer our services on a No Win, No Fee basis, meaning there are no upfront costs, and you will only pay legal fees if your claim is successful. This approach allows you to pursue your case with confidence, knowing that there is no financial risk involved.
