Liability for Passenger Injury in Motorcycle Accidents – Who Can A Passenger Sue

Motorcycle accidents are either single vehicle accidents or caused by another vehicle. However, as a passenger you cannot be liable for the injuries sustained. So the question is often who is financially liable for the injuries sustained? Who is liable for the physical and emotional damage suffered by you? After an accident medical bills can start piling up fast. These bills should not be the responsibility of the passenger. However, often times because passengers are not aware of how the financial responsibility element of a claim works, they fail to pursue a claim for damages. So how does financial responsibility work on these types of cases? If you were injured because of another vehicle, you will pursue a claim against the at fault parties insurance. If your injuries exceed the policy limits, then you can include the insurance of the motorcycle operator and your own insurance coverage. Pursuing a claim for damages is generally against the insurance companies or insurance carrier. Any recovery is generally paid from the insurance company and not the individual. Thus, the financial responsibility for your claim is against the insurance company who will be responsible for your injuries, medical bills, loss of income and pain and suffering.
