Whether you were riding in a car hit by a truck on I-215 near Cottonwood Heights, or you were a passenger in a commercial truck that crashed coming down Parley’s Canyon, you have rights. Let’s talk about what passengers can do after a truck accident.
Passengers Often Have Stronger Cases
Why It’s Different
- Can’t be blamed for driving
- Clearly not at fault
- Often more sympathetic
- Multiple insurance options
- Clearer rights
Real-Life Example
Lisa was a passenger when a semi hit their car near The District in South Jordan. Unlike the driver, she didn’t have to prove who had the green light – she just had to show she was hurt.
