Compensation For Many Types Of Injuries
What are common passenger injury claims in Connecticut? The reality is that passengers may suffer the same types of injuries as drivers in motor vehicle accidents. The injuries include:
- Head injuries: Front-seat passengers may hit their heads on the dashboard and suffer head injuries or brain damage. Passengers’ heads may also collide with windows.
- Spine injuries: After a rear-end collision, passengers may suffer back injuries that include damage to the spinal cord.
- Broken bones: Passengers riding anywhere in a car may suffer broken arms from attempting to reach out and brace themselves for the impact. Broken legs and other broken bones are common as well after auto accidents.
We have the experience and knowledge to help you obtain the compensation that you deserve after having been injured in a motor vehicle accident.
Devoted And Committed To Our Clients
If the car accident was caused by the negligent driver of another vehicle, legal action will target that driver. However, in some cases, the driver of the vehicle the passenger was in may have caused the accident or contributed to the accident. This may be a friend or family member, so the victim may be hesitant to move forward with legal action. It is important to understand that the true target of legal action is the driver’s insurance company.
Depending on the nature of the car accident, legal action may target both drivers. Ultimately, our lawyers are committed to getting fair compensation for the passenger victim.
