Distracted Driving Accident Lawyers

Distracted driving is a major cause of traffic accidents that can also results in serious injuries. Distracted driving is driving while doing any activity that takes your attention away from the road. While we usually associated distracted drivers with cell phones and texting this also includes being on other electronics, eating or drinking, or adjusting vehicle controls like radio, gps, or temperature settings. You cannot drive safely unless driving has your full attention.

Do I Need A Distracted Driver Accident Injury Lawyer?

 

Timing is critical if you’ve been injured in a car accident. Our experts recommend reaching out for representation as soon as possible. Insurance companies may often make efforts to settle a claim quickly or compensate with a settlement that’s less than what you deserve.

“We sometimes see insurance companies that will strongarm clients into a settlement that does not match the value of the vehicle. It’s important to us that our clients know you do not always have to accept that first offer,” says Tarrabain.
