Where Passenger Injury Coverage Comes From in Hollis, NH

A passenger who is hurt in a car accident usually has more than one possible source of payment, which can make the first weeks confusing. 

New Hampshire follows a fault-based system, so a passenger can generally seek compensation from the liability coverage of whichever driver is found responsible. This could be the driver of the car they rode in or the driver of another vehicle.

Medical payments coverage is a second source. New Hampshire policies must include at least $1,000 in medical payments coverage, which typically extends to people riding in the insured vehicle and generally applies regardless of who caused the collision. 

Another option is uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. Every purchased policy must carry it, with bodily injury limits of at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 total, and passengers in the insured vehicle may be able to use it when the at-fault driver has little or no insurance. 

To help sort out which policy applies, it is crucial to preserve all the paperwork. Passengers can ask the drivers for their insurance details, keep medical bills and treatment records, and notify their own health insurer, since health coverage and medical payments benefits can overlap. Several policies may apply at once, so a car accident lawyer can step in to help identify each source of coverage and explain how policy limits and filing deadlines affect a claim.
