Injured Passengers Have a Right to Compensation
At Jaroslawicz & Jaros, our attorneys have represented passengers hurt because of the negligence of another driver, as well as passengers hurt because of the negligence of the driver of the car the passenger was in. We have decades of experience, meaning we can overcome all of the interesting challenges that can come up in these types of cases. For example, what if the passenger was the owner of the car and holder of the insurance policy? What if the driver was the owner, but was uninsured? We know how to find avenues of compensation in the most complex car accident cases.
Legal Action Against a Friend or Family Member
Passengers injured by the negligence of the driver of the vehicle they were in, are often hesitant to take legal action, because the driver was a friend or family member. It is important to recognize that this is exactly why your friend or family member has auto insurance. You need that money to cover medical bills, lost wages and other costs.
Taxi Cab and Bus Passenger Accidents
Our lawyers are experienced in taxi cab accidents and bus accidents involving passenger injuries. Whether the accident was the result of the taxi cab or bus driver's negligence, the negligence of another driver, or even some form of vehicle defect or maintenance issue, we have the strength to help you maximize compensation.
In fact, we can handle any case in which the passenger of a vehicle of any type was injured, including airplane and boating accidents, even ferry accidents.
In one highly publicized case, our law firm obtained an $813,000 verdict after going to trial on behalf of a woman who was injured as a passenger when the Staten Island ferry crashed. This is just one of many impressive verdicts and settlements that we've overcome the odds to obtain for personal injury victims throughout New York.
