Passenger injuries
Passengers injured in auto accidents deserve quality representation
Passengers can suffer serious injuries in accidents, sometimes even more so than the driver. Passengers may be thrown through the windshield, slammed against the dashboard or crushed against the roof. A wrongful death lawsuit may be pursued if a passenger is killed in the accident.
A closer look at passenger injury
Common types of passenger injury include:
- Head injury: A head injury can be serious. If you lost a loved one who was a passenger in a car accident, we may be able to help you file a wrongful death lawsuit.
- Whiplash: A whiplash passenger injury may occur in a rear-end collision. You may have experience whiplash if your head violently moved forward during the accident.
- Broken bones or fractures: People in serious car accidents sometimes experience broken bone passenger injuries. A broken bone may not heal quickly. You may need to spend months or years going to doctors for treatment. Unfortunately, you may have to take time off from work. You may have huge medical bills and be forced to live with pain and suffering.
Passengers injured in accidents can suffer from lasting injuries through no fault of their own. As long as they did not contribute to the reckless operation of the vehicle — which can sometimes happen in motorcycle accidents — passengers are not responsible for the crash.
Child passengers are especially vulnerable to injury. Not only are their bodies more subject to harm, but children who witness a loved one's serious injury, suffering, or death often suffer psychological injuries.
