When driver negligence causes another person harm during a vehicle collision in Texas, any of the car, truck or SUV’s occupants can be injured in the crash, including passengers who had no control over the accident’s circumstances.
Our personal injury attorneys in Austin represent injured clients throughout Texas, including passengers who were hurt by the driver of the vehicle they were in or another driver’s negligence.
When the drivers’ insurance companies begin debating who was at fault for the crash, there may be a significant amount of time where the injured passenger is financially and physically helpless, incurring mounting medical bills, lost wages, and additional expenses from an accident that were completely out of their control.
We can help.
