Injured Passengers in a Motor Vehicle Accident

Experienced Cleveland Car and Truck Accident Personal Injury Lawyers

It is an unfortunate statistic that passengers in motor vehicle accidents often suffer the worst injuries and have the higher fatality rate than the drivers. Often, this is because the drivers of the cars are more aware of the impending crash and take measures to prepare themselves for impact. Airbag protection in the steering wheel and dashboards also offer the driver and front-seat passengers protection that riders in the rear don't have available in most cases.

If you were injured while riding as a passenger in a car or on a motorcycle, you have the right to pursue compensation from the negligent driver, even if the driver of your vehicle is found to be 100 percent at fault for the crash. The attorneys at Caravona & Czack have helped hundreds of clients and their families obtain the full and fair money damages they are entitled to after suffering physical harm and financial loss after a motor vehicle accident.

Our attorneys have been listed among America's preeminent attorneys and have earned the highest AV* peer review rating and designation as Super Lawyers. Our firm is proud to have received recognition by the prestigious Million Dollar Advocates Forum for securing settlements and jury awards in excess of one million dollars on behalf of negligence victims.

Did you know?
Under Ohio law, if you allow someone else to drive your car while you ride in the front seat, you cannot sue your own auto policy in the event of an accident. Because of your position in the front seat, the law presumes that you remained in control of the vehicle.
