Northern California Passenger Ejection Injury Attorneys
Vehicle Ejection Product Liability Claim Lawyers
With over 254 million vehicles on the road in the United States alone, the safety of those vehicles should be the number one priority to auto manufacturers. When motorists get behind the wheel, they don’t think that they could ever be involved in an accident that could leave them anywhere but inside their vehicle. However, due to leniency on safety regulations and in some cases, defective parts, motorists and their passengers may run a higher risk of being ejected from their vehicle in a collision.
In a recent study performed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 14% of the occupants were ejected from their vehicles during crashes. Should a safety function in the vehicle fail to work properly, those injured or killed in these types of collisions may hold the auto maker liable.

The injuries sustained in an accident where one or more occupants are ejected can be catastrophic. Rarely do motorists leave the site of the crash unscathed. The cause of the ejection can greatly affect the severity of the injuries. For example, if the driver is wearing his or her seat belt, but it fails to latch properly or comes loose during a collision, the driver may be thrust forward, thus causing more injury than if the seat belt had served its purpose. Some injuries that can result from an ejection may include:
- Broken or crushed bones
- Internal bleeding
- Head trauma or brain injury
- Neck and spinal cord injury
- Paralysis
- Amputation
- Nerve damage
Because injuries from these types of accidents can be life-altering and may require surgery, physical therapy or around-the-clock care, medical expenses can skyrocket in a very short amount of time. If a passenger ejection injury occurs because a safety feature doesn’t work properly, the occupant or occupants may be entitled to substantial compensation. Some damages that a client may be eligible to receive compensation for include, but are not limited to:
- Medical expenses
- Surgery and rehabilitation
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of income and future loss of income
- Emotional distress
- Property replacement
