If you are a driver and you are involved in an accident which was caused by the fault of another individual you may be entitled to compensation.
Even where you are partially responsible you may still be entitled to some compensation from the other party's insurers.
This means that whilst you may not get the full value of your claim you may be entitled to a proportion, but achieving a settlement will involve negotiations with the insurance company or companies involved.
Where you are a passenger in a vehicle that is involved in an accident then you will most certainly be able to claim compensation from the responsible party.
This may be from the driver of your vehicle or from the driver of the other vehicle.
