What Is a Passenger Accident Claim?
A passenger accident claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you’ve been injured while travelling as a passenger in a car, taxi, bus, coach, or any other vehicle that was involved in an accident which wasn’t your fault.
Passengers are often the most vulnerable road users — you have no control over how the vehicle is driven but can still suffer serious injuries. Whether the accident was caused by your own driver, another motorist, or poor road conditions, you may be entitled to compensation.
Passenger accidents are often caused by:
• Driver error, distraction or reckless driving
• Speeding or dangerous manoeuvres
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Poor weather or unsafe road conditions
• Collisions with uninsured or hit-and-run drivers
If you’ve been injured in the last 3 years as a passenger, LITKRAFT can help you start your claim and get the support you need to recover.
Who Can Claim After a Passenger Accident?
If you were a passenger injured in a road traffic accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim compensation. This includes:
• Car passengers injured in a crash caused by their driver or another motorist
• Taxi, minicab or rideshare (e.g. Uber, Bolt) passengers involved in collisions
• Bus or coach passengers hurt in a road accident
• Cyclists or pedestrians injured while travelling as a pillion passenger on a motorbike
At LITKRAFT, we can also arrange a replacement hire vehicle where possible, so you can stay mobile while your claim is ongoing.

How Much Compensation Could You Get?
The amount of compensation you may receive as a passenger depends on your personal circumstances, including:

• Your recovery time and whether there are long-term effects
• Any loss of income and impact on your future work
• The effect on your daily life, independence and wellbeing
• Costs of medical treatment, rehabilitation, and travel expenses

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
