Whoever you're claiming against, the process will follow the same four basic stages:
- Information gathering - your solicitor will gather information about your accident and injuries.
- Rehabilitation - our Support and Rehabilitation Coordinators will help you identify what physical or psychological support you could benefit from.
- Compensation - you will receive compensation for your injuries, whether this a lump sum, yearly payments, or both.

Who can claim for passenger accident compensation?
Your right to make a claim and the amount of compensation you could receive won’t be affected just because you were a passenger rather than a driver. It also doesn't matter if the accident was caused by the driver of your vehicle or another road user—you can claim in both instances.
You may be able to claim, if you were a passenger in a:
- Car or van - whether it was a personal or business car or van
- Bus or coach - this can include accidents caused by sudden braking or exiting
- Taxi - includes black cabs and Uber vehicles.
