Per vehicle mile, motorcyclists are about 37 times more likely as passenger car occupants to die in a traffic crash
In 2005, passenger cars and light trucks accounted for about 86% of the vehicles involved in motor vehicle crashes. This is because these types of vehicles are the most commonly used on roads, so they are more likely to be involved in accidents.
I'm guessing by "under age kids" you mean people from 1 to 14 years old.The most recent data I have is for the US in 2006.The CDC website (see the links) says:In the US in 2006, in the 1 to 14 years age range, a total of10,780 kids died from all causes. Out of that,1,689 kids died from motor vehicle traffic accidents. Out of that,383 MV traffic accidents deaths are classified as "V89.2 Motor- or nonmotor-vehicle accident, type of vehicle unspecified - Person injured in unspecified motor-vehicle accident, traffic" while26 MV traffic accidents deaths are filed under various classifications as "Motorcycle rider injured - driver", "Motorcycle rider injured - passenger", or "Motorcycle rider injured - any".
In 2008, 53% of passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes were not wearing seat belts. This translates to approximately 13,000 fatalities involving people who were not wearing seat belts.
There is no specific data available on the number of people who have died in accidents while driving a Volvo in the US. The safety of a vehicle is just one factor among many that can influence the outcome of a car accident.
The two main causes of traumatic brain injury in the US are falls and motor vehicle accidents. Falls are the leading cause, especially in older adults, while motor vehicle accidents are a common cause in younger populations.
The correct spelling is passenger (non-driving vehicle occupant).
NO, that's what the vehicle insurance is for.
It permits police officers to make an immediate search of the passenger compartment of an automobile incident to the arrest of an occupant or "recent occupant." It applies when officers do not initiate contact with the occupant until AFTER the occupant has voluntarily exited the vehicle and walked away from it.
You should be talking to the insurance company that insures the vehicle you were a passenger in. If it was a single vehicle accident they will be responsible but if it wasn't then the at fault drivers insurance would cover it.

Yes. If the passenger is hurt in an accident caused by the driver, the passenger is fully entitled to sue the driver. In fact even if the passenger is a spouse of the driver, the passenger can sue.

Only as much as will cover your medical expenses or "suffering" claims. It MAY make a difference on whether you were a passenger in the striking vehicle or in the vehicle that was struck.
If you care about your life or vehicle occupant's lives, take it to a dealer, the supplemental restraint system needs to be repaired, not reset.
It will definetely be covered if the person had a drivers license and insurance on their own vehicle...but it should be covered as long as their vehicle was sitting when your vehicle was wrecked...but also since you were in the vehicle at the time of the accident it should be covered as long as they had a license
- Seat belts, also known as safety belts, are a safety feature that secures the passenger in the vehicle seat in case of an accident. Seat belts are part of the occupant restraint system that helps to avoid harmful movement of the passengers, which could lead to injuries and also protects the occupants from being ejected from the vehicle. - Seat belt tensioner work in conjuction with the airbag help to optimize the performance of the airbag systems. Maintaining proper occupant position reduces the amount of work the airbags must perform, and thus increases the level of protection provided by the SRS system. Keeping the occupant in the proper position minimizes injury due to the rapid inflation of the airbags.
