Passenger Accident – Personal injury lawyer
As a passenger, you are generally not responsible for driving. I assess liability, injury consequences, and the appropriate claim route.
For Passenger Accident, these points are especially important:
- ›Depending on the accident, drivers, keepers, and insurers of one or more vehicles may be liable.
- ›A passenger is generally not responsible for driving, though personal contributory fault may arise.
- ›Seat-belt use and other conduct may affect apportionment.
- ›Compensation, treatment, lost earnings, and household impact should be recorded separately.
The first step is to clarify: Which parties are liable and how injuries, seat-belt use, and further losses should be assessed.

Mr. Lerch provided me with highly professional, calm, and dedicated support throughout my legal proceedings. I particularly appreciated his honest assessment of my case and the clear communication he maintained throughout the entire process. Thanks to his strategy and preparation, we achieved a significantly better outcome than originally anticipated in the penalty order. I felt well-advised and taken seriously at all times.
