Episode Summary
In this episode of Peachtree Injury Talk, attorney Jordan Jewkes explains how if you’re injured as a passenger in a car accident, you usually aren’t at fault—and that gives you strong rights. You can file a claim against the at-fault driver, the driver of your own vehicle (even if it's a friend), or both if they share fault. While technically claims name individuals, insurance companies typically pay. If both drivers deny responsibility, a lawsuit might be necessary to sort out fault.
To protect yourself financially, purchase uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM)—it's cheap and travels with you. And if you’re nervous about filing against someone you know, remember: insurance is there to cover exactly these situations.
