Re: Injury in car wreck

The insurer can not "force" the passenger to sign anything. Even a single car accident can get legally complicated. The passenger may have some coverage independent of the driver/owner, there may be facts providing an avenue to other provisions of an insurance policy, and there are many Oklahoma laws benefitting the parties which, if not known, may not be volunteered by the insurer. I would suggest considering getting an attorney before signing anything.
