PASSEBGER ACCIDENTS
Cases Our Passenger Injury Attorneys Handle
Passenger injuries occur when a vehicle collides with another car, truck, fixed object, or even a pedestrian or road hazard. Because passengers have no control over the vehicle and often little time to react, they are vulnerable to the full force of the impact. Even in low-speed collisions, passengers can suffer serious injuries that lead to mounting medical bills and lasting complications. While the causes of these accidents may mirror other traffic incidents, the consequences for passengers are uniquely challenging since they had no ability to prevent the crash.
Common Causes of Passenger Injuries in Austin
- Distracted driving: Drivers using phones, GPS, or other devices can cause crashes that seriously harm passengers.
- Speeding: High speeds reduce reaction times and increase the severity of passenger injuries.
- Driving under the influence: Alcohol or drugs greatly raise the risk of catastrophic passenger harm.
- Failure to yield: Unsafe turns, skipped signals, or merging without checking lanes frequently result in collisions.
- Bad weather or road hazards: Rain, flooding, and debris often cause accidents where passengers bear the brunt of the impact.
Types of Passenger Accidents
Head-on or left-turn crashes can cause severe trauma to passengers.
Often occurring at intersections, these collisions leave passengers especially vulnerable.
Passengers may suffer whiplash, concussions, or spinal injuries when struck from behind.
Passengers risk being ejected or crushed in multi-flip crashes.
Passengers typically suffer severe injuries because they lack control over the vehicle and cannot brace for impact. Outcomes range from broken bones and internal injuries to lifelong disabilities. Our attorneys investigate every angle to ensure responsible parties are held accountable.
Consequences You Might Face After an Austin Passenger Accident
Passengers have no control over the vehicle, yet they often suffer the most severe consequences when a careless driver causes a crash. Whether it’s a head-on collision, a side-impact at an intersection, or a rear-end crash at a stoplight, the result can be life-changing injuries and overwhelming financial burdens that only an experienced passenger injury lawyer can help you recover.
Passengers can suffer concussions, skull fractures, or traumatic brain injuries from striking a window, seat, or dashboard during a collision. Long-term effects—such as memory loss, migraines, difficulty concentrating, or personality changes—may require years of costly treatment and rehabilitation.
The force of a crash can twist or compress the spine, leading to whiplash, herniated discs, or spinal-cord trauma that may result in partial or complete paralysis. Prompt diagnosis and aggressive therapy, sometimes including surgery, are often required to reduce long-term complications.
Passengers frequently sustain fractures, dislocations, and torn ligaments in arms, legs, or hips due to the impact of seatbelts, airbags, or crushed vehicle frames. These injuries can require surgery, immobilization, and lengthy physical therapy before normal function is restored.
The emotional aftermath—PTSD, anxiety, or depression—can be as disabling as the physical wounds. A skilled passenger injury attorney ensures these invisible injuries are fully accounted for in your claim.
Passengers may also lose personal belongings in the crash, such as phones, laptops, or other valuables damaged in the collision. A thorough claim includes the recovery of these costs so you are not left paying out of pocket.
LEGAL ADVICE
How Our Austin Passenger Injury Lawyers Help You
When you’re injured as a passenger, the insurance process can feel overwhelming and unfair. You weren’t driving, yet you may still face complex questions about who’s at fault and which insurance company should pay. Dang Law Group’s passenger injury attorneys in Austin step in immediately to protect your rights, guide you through each decision, and fight for the full compensation you deserve.
Legal guidance
We break down Texas negligence law, insurance coverage rules, and the two-year statute of limitations. You’ll understand exactly which damages—medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, future earning potential, pain, and emotional suffering—you may claim, so you can move forward with confidence.
Evidence gathering
Our team secures police reports, black-box data from involved vehicles, traffic-camera and surveillance footage, witness statements, and your medical records. We also work with accident reconstruction experts to build a strong case that clearly proves fault and calculates your total losses.
Handling legal aspects
From drafting demand letters and filing court documents to handling discovery requests, we take care of every procedural detail. You’ll never have to worry about confusing paperwork or missed deadlines—our updates are provided in clear English or Spanish, whichever you prefer.
Negotiation and case resolution
Insurance adjusters often try to downplay passenger claims or shift responsibility. We push back with hard evidence and expert testimony, negotiating for a settlement that covers both your current expenses and long-term needs. Mediation or direct negotiations—whatever secures the fastest and fairest outcome for you.
Representation in court
If insurers refuse to offer what’s fair, we are fully prepared for trial. Our litigators cross-examine witnesses, challenge defense strategies, and present a compelling story of how the accident affected your life, fighting for the verdict and compensation you deserve.
