Distracted Driving Accidents Are On the Rise

In the United States, there are more than three million car accidents every year. Of those accidents, more than 500,000 result in injuries. 

The National Safety Council estimates that more than half of all car accidents are caused by distracted driving. In fact, the NHTSA reports that the odds of being involved in a car accident increase by up to 23% when a driver is using a cell phone.

Distracted driving accidents can result in catastrophic injuries. Victims can suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, lacerations, burns, and other serious injuries. Because of this, many victims require extensive medical care and may suffer permanent disabilities.

Recovering Damages in a Distracted Driving Accident Case

In most personal injury cases, the goal is to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering. In a distracted driving accident case, the goal is to recover compensation for all of these damages and more.

In a distracted driving accident case, you may be able to recover compensation for:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Permanent disability
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium
• Property damage

In many cases, the negligence of the driver who caused the accident is clear. However, even when the driver's negligence is not as clear, you may still be able to recover compensation for your injuries. In these cases, you will need to prove that the driver's negligence was a substantial factor in causing the accident.
