Passenger Seriously Injured
A passenger survived a fatal crash — and recovered $250,000 through insurance coverage.
Overview
Vasilisa was a passenger when her friend, impaired and distracted, crashed into a parked construction truck at high speed. She suffered catastrophic injuries — broken legs and internal organ damage. Her friend died at the scene.From her hospital bed, she asked one question: Can I still seek compensation?
Results
Michael Brook immediately connected her with a large, elite law firm of 20 attorneys.
The firm confirmed:
✔ A passenger can recover even if the at-fault driver is deceased
✔ Initial driver insurance: $25,000 (recovered in 2 weeks)
✔ Additional recovery from Vasilisa’s own auto policy: $225,000
Total recovery: $250,000
Conclusion
Many victims assume there is no case when the driver dies. That assumption is wrong. Insurance coverage — not blame — determines recovery.
Fast legal intervention made the difference.
