Can Passenger File A Personal Injury Claim Against A Driver?

Yes, they can. A passenger who was injured in a crash which was caused by the driver in the vehicle they are occupying can choose to file a claim against them. The process will differ depending on whether the driver is related to the passenger or not. Also, if the driver was working for a business entity, the passenger may be better off pursuing a personal injury claim against the employer instead of directly against the driver.
