Yes. In fact, motorcycle passengers are actually more likely than motorcycle drivers to be severely injured in an accident, so you may have a better case than the motorcycle driver. Motorcycle passengers are less likely than drivers to wear a helmet and they suffer serious head injuries at a higher rate. However, even in instances when both the driver and passenger were wearing helmets, passengers still suffered serious head injuries at a higher rate than drivers. Your passenger has the same rights to compensation as you. If the other driver was at fault, the claims for the motorcycle passenger and driver will be extremely similar, possibly differing only in the amount of damages.
