Commentary:
Considering the details of the accident have not yet fallen into place, many people may have some questions about what happens when a passenger is hurt after a driver has made a mistake behind the wheel. If a person is a passenger in a vehicle where the driver is speeding and texting on their phone before injuring their passenger in an accident, the driver has failed in their duty to that passenger to drive safely and within the parameters of the law. If this accident happened due to driver carelessness, the driver may be liable for the passengers damages if investigation uncovers the right fact pattern.
