Passengers in a car accident can suffer a wide range of serious injuries, such as:
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Eye socket fractures
Broken bones, including shins, ribs, and arms
Crush injuries from cabin collapse
Internal organ damage
Whiplash and spinal injuries, including paralysis
Burns and electric shocks from fires or battery-related accidents
These injuries can lead to steep medical bills and long-term rehabilitation. A successful personal injury claim can help cover these costs and provide compensation for your pain and suffering.

Under California’s statute of limitations, injured passengers generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. However, certain situations, such as cases involving government vehicles, can have shorter deadlines.
