As an experienced Buffalo Accident Attorney, sometimes I receive phone calls from people that are injured as a passenger in a vehicle, and they’d like to know what their options are as far as bringing a claim. Passengers are what we refer to as a pure plaintiff. A passenger cannot have fault in an accident unless, of course they grab the steering wheel, or do something in terms of taking over the operation of that vehicle. A passenger would have a potential claim against the driver of their vehicle if the operator of that vehicle did something wrong. Passengers could also potentially have a claim against any other vehicles that were involved, if the fault was shared among the other drivers.
