Someone in the back is hurt. Claim on this car's compulsory policy first. Inside the range the statute sets, it doesn't matter whether the driver was at fault. Medical bills past that, days they couldn't work, money for the injury itself: then look at the driver, the other side, or both.
Being friends doesn't mean the passenger can't claim. Get them treated and keep the diagnosis. The car damage is between the driver and the other side. Don't let the passenger sign a settlement for the car in their own name.
What you can do first
- 01Keep the passenger's diagnosis and receipts on their own. Don't staple them to the repair estimate.
- 02Find which company wrote the compulsory policy. It's on the registration or the insurance card.
- 03The passenger shouldn't sign the driver's settlement unless that page clearly covers the person.

Rewritten in my own words. Not a judgment and not a law firm's article. If a number shows up, it belonged to that public discussion, not to you. Check the Judicial Yuan judgment system. These started as public discussions of car crashes. I rewrote them here. Not a law firm's article.
I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not a mediator. I can't decide this for you. The statute that counts is the one still in force. Judgments live on the Judicial Yuan site.
