==Car accident==
In August of 2000, Petra sustained severe injuries and fell into a coma following a car accident in Venice, California, breaking several ribs, her pelvis, and nearly losing an eye.Hochman, Steve. "A Mixed Bill, but a Common Cause" Los Angeles Times. 28 November 2000. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-nov-28-ca-58003-story.html Doctors inserted a permanent metal rod in her right leg. Her hospital stay and subsequent physical and cognitive rehabilitation therapy resulted in a successful recovery, but incurred significant medical bills. As Haden lacked medical insurance, the music community coordinated a string of benefit concerts to aid in her recovery and medical costs. These benefits included performances by Beck, Tenacious D, Petra's brother Josh Haden (Spain), Stephen Perkins, The GoGo’s, Vincent Gallo, Sean Lennon, Miss Murgatroid, and others. A double 7"-vinyl benefit record was released by Vegas Records in 2003, including exclusive tracks by Weezer, Phantom Planet, Ben Kweller, and AM Radio. Haden recovered and was back to work recording music by 2003.
