Distracted Driver Injury Lawyer
Helping Injury Victims Nationwide
Every day, distracted drivers kill over 9 people and injure more than 1,153.
In 2013 alone, they killed 3,154 people, injuring approximately 424,000
others. This occurs despite the many laws discouraging distracted driving,
especially in the form of cell phone use. 46 states ban texting while
driving, but two of the states in which it is legal prohibit novice drivers
from texting, and one forbids school bus drivers to do so. Despite these
laws and statistics, though, many continue to endanger innocent lives,
often being willfully careless of safety. If a distracted driver has harmed
you or a family member,
the Doan Law Firm can rescue you from the complexity of a court case and the efforts of
insurance companies to minimize your rightful compensation.
People most commonly speak of distracted drivers and cell phones, but the
Doan Law Firm is prepared to pursue your case in any case of distraction.
Agitated pets, conversing passengers, eating or drinking, and feeling
highly emotional can all distract a negligent driver. Reaching for something,
gawking at someone or something off the road, and smoking are also significant
sources of distraction. None of these factors, however, excuse him or
her for not taking precautions against the distraction and for endangering
those around.
A distracted driver could be anyone -- a trucker, a car-owner, a bus-driver…
distracted drivers may speed crazily, change lanes wildly, or even go
the wrong way on a highway. The bigger the vehicle the less maneuverable
it is, and the less it takes to cause a horrible accident. The least error
can cause jackknifing, rolling, and collisions, in fact. To make things
worse, many insurance companies will try to reduce the injured party’s
claims as much as possible. The less they give, the more their shareholders
keep -- and insurance companies like profits.
Car accidents always result in injury. Just a simple case of whiplash can cause pain,
numbness, headaches, and more, affecting your working ability and your
happiness in life. Concussions or traumatic brain injuries may lead to
pain, headaches, wild mood swings, and even depression, while recovery
is hard to predict and may never come. Serious injuries could disable
your mind or body, cause miscarriage, or death. You may come to need pain
medications and treatments to enable you to work through the trauma on
a daily basis. If you are an innocent victim of a distracted driver, you
are entitled to due compensation for the medical and emotional damages
inflicted on you at the accident. Where death or injury is concerned,
the usual amount of compensation increases greatly, as is proper.
Overwhelmed by medical bills, struggling through psychological trauma,
and trying to cope with your emotions, you obviously do not have time
or energy to pursue the intricate details of a lawsuit, where you must
deal not only with the insurance, the court, and the offender but also
with whatever other parties become involved, such as manufacturers. Yet
if you settle for what the insurance company proffers, they may very well
cheat you of your due. In fact, many who do not advantage themselves of
legal help accept much lower settlements than they could receive with
the help of a friendly attorney from one of our law offices. Fortunately,
the Doan Law Firm can handle your case for you, freeing you to focus on
the important things in your life -- recovery and healing. We can advise
