A 1997 Chevrolet being operated by Travis Holtzclaw was involved in a single-car crash over the weekend.  Apparently Holtclaw's Chevy veered off the roadway, Holtzclaw overcorrected, causing the car to travel down a ditch, overturn and violently collide with a tree.  16-year old Holtzclaw had four other passengers in the car with him at the time of the crash, including three other 16-year olds and 42-year old Robert Hubert.  Hubert was taken by AIR EVAC helicopter to University Medical Center in Columbia.  The remaining injured persons were taken by private conveyance or ambulance to Moberly Regional Medical Center. 

The passengers in Holtzclaw's car potential have a personal injury claim against the driver of the Chevy and even the owner.  When the driver of an automobile is negligent and his/her actions cause injury to passengers, the passengers may recovery against the driver's car insurance policy.  Even when there is no insurance on the car itself, the other occupants may potentially have a claim against other sources of liability insurance.  These cases can be complicated, especially when there are several potential parties of interest.
