You may end up filing an injury claim against someone you know

Car accidents come in all shapes and sizes. They may be simple fender-benders or involve dozens of cars in a large pileup. The negligent party might be the driver that hit you or it might be the driver of the vehicle that you were in.

The second scenario can often be tricky and cause a lot of car accident victims to feel anxious. If you were hurt in a car accident due to the negligence of the person who was driving the car you were in, you may feel hesitant about filing a claim against them. After all, if the two of you were in the same vehicle, it is very likely that you know each other in some capacity. Perhaps you are coworkers who carpool to your jobsite every weekday or you guys are close friends who rode together to a weekend party.

It can be hard to consider filing a lawsuit against someone you know, but you may also feel as though you have no choice when you see the medical bills piling up. This is a sensitive issue and one that you may want to discuss with your personal injury attorney.

This scenario could become reality in the near future for three young adults who were injured in a car accident just outside of Syracuse. The car accident happened in the early morning hours last Friday in Nelson. The accident only involved the vehicle the three men were in, but no more details have been released as to who was driving and what caused them to crash.

Two of the individuals in the vehicle were 19 years old and one was 26 years old. The three young men were initially listed as being critically injured but their conditions have upgraded. The two younger men are both in fair condition while the older man is in serious condition at Upstate University Hospital.

Time will tell how seriously the injuries will affect the three men. While they recover, their families may consider discussing their case with an attorney.
