Distracted Driving Accident

 

Texting While Driving: Accidents on the Rise

While speeding, drunk driving, and other traffic violations can lead to serious car accidents, distracted driving is considered equally reckless by many people—especially by individuals who have been hit by a driver who was texting or using any other electronic device at the time of the crash.

Compensation for Injuries Caused by Distracted Driving Accidents

A distracted driving accident that causes you to suffer a neck or back injury, broken bones, or other injury can cause you to accumulate medical bills, lose valuable time at work, and face other financial problems. Compensation recovered in a personal injury lawsuit can alleviate these challenges so that you can focus on your health and your recovery. Lawyers Bill Bone and Chris Larmoyeux put more than 20 years of experience to work in pursuit of maximum compensation for clients.

Our AV-rated* law firm handles distracted-driving accidents involving:

  • Drivers talking on a cell phone (handheld or hands-free)
  • Drivers who were texting while driving (including reading a text)
  • Drivers tending to children in the backseat
  • Drivers changing the radio station or adjusting other settings
  • Drivers applying makeup
  • Other careless driving

 

Serious and Fatal Accidents Caused by Distracted Driving

When a driver is talking on a cell phone, texting, entering a location into a GPS device, or tending to anything else other than driving, the driver's focus is pulled away from where it should be: on the road. As a result, the driver may not be aware that highway traffic has suddenly changed to a standstill, that a traffic light has turned red, or that a cyclist is ahead. Too often, rear-end collisions, intersection accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian or bicycle accidents, and tractor-trailer or semi-truck accidents are caused by the inattentive or reckless driving of others on the road.

Depending on the nature of the accident, the resulting injuries can range from soft tissue injuries (whiplash) or broken bones to more serious injuries, such as spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, amputation, or other catastrophic injuries. Our West Palm Beach distracted driving accident lawyers are dedicated to helping our clients recover full compensation for their injuries.
