Miramar Passenger Safety
Many traffic accidents in Miramar result not only in injuries to the driver of a car, but also to his or her passengers. For passengers, the process of securing compensation and insurance money for injuries can be especially intimidating, since passengers will generally be dealing with an unfamiliar insurance company. While passengers are covered in most cases by the driver’s insurance policy, the fact that the passenger likely knows the driver can make the claims process awkward and even uncomfortable.
