Bradenton Distracted Driving Accident Lawyer

Why Choose Our Legal Team for Your Distracted Driving Case

Distracted driving is a common cause of accidents, but that does not mean it is an easy claim to pursue, and often it can be challenging to recover fair damages unless you have the necessary experience. When you speak to our lawyer, you gain the one-on-one support you need to handle these claims. Throughout our history, we have helped victims recover millions of dollars in losses related to car accidents, including those brought on by distracted driving.

Our experience makes a difference in your case as well. It allows us to know the strategies and tools to use to demonstrate your losses and build a strong claim. Most importantly, you deserve an advocate who is working solely for your benefit and your future. You can trust that our legal team will protect you from aggressive insurance companies, often working against you. Let us ensure you get what the law allows you to receive after such an accident.

How to Prove Distracted Driving Took Place

Consider just how dangerous sending or reading a text message can be. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration shares that reading a text message takes about 5 seconds. If you are driving a car at that time, going 60 miles per hour, it is the same thing as closing your eyes and driving the full length of a football field. More so, in 2023, 3275 people lost their lives because someone could not wait to view a text message. When you are the victim, though, proving that someone was texting at the time of the accident can be difficult. You may have seen them do it, but how can your attorney prove it? There are several strategies our attorneys will use to help build your case:

  • Pursuing phone logs. In some situations, our legal team can seek access to the at-fault party’s cell phone logs, which can demonstrate what they were doing.
  • Witness statements. If other people saw the accident or were in the car when it happened, their statement of distraction could be a factor.
  • Using police reports. This can provide some insight into what the police determined caused the accident.
  • Evidence in the vehicle. Distraction can happen when someone is eating at the time of the accident, applying makeup, or otherwise engaging in various activities. If a pet were in the front seat, that evidence could help to build your case.

If you were hurt because someone else believed they were capable of multitasking or were simply engaged in reckless activities, you need an advocate. Our distracted driving accident lawyer in Bradenton is ready to help you pursue fair compensation.

Serious Injuries From Distracted Driving

In some situations, victims of distracted driving suffer serious injuries that complicate their lives for months or even permanently. In these cases, you need to ensure your settlement offers enough compensation to cover all of your existing and future losses. Some of the injuries that may apply to this include the following:

  • Head injuries resulting in skull fractures, bleeding on the brain, traumatic brain injuries, or concussions
  • Whiplash from rapid back-and-forth movement of the head
  • Broken bones, including crushing accidents, complex fractures, and surgically repaired injuries
  • Spinal injuries resulting in paralysis or chronic nerve damage
  • Burns and scarring from lacerations
  • Permanent disability
  • Amputation
  • Soft tissue injuries

If you were hurt in an accident involving these types of injuries or other complicated matters, set up a free consultation with our distracted driving accident attorney in Bradenton to discuss your case. Let us help you determine what the full value of your claim should be.

Determining the Value of Your Distracted Driving Accident Claim

Victims of a distracted driving accident caused by another party have the legal right to pursue compensation for any losses they have. To do that, they must document all injuries and consequences. Examples of some of the most common losses victims experience in a serious accident include the following:

  • Medical expenses from emergency care, hospitalization, medications, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical needs
  • Healthcare support for day-to-day living at home, support in a treatment center for complex injuries, and modifications to your home to make it accessible
  • Losses related to being unable to work, including immediate loss of wages and benefits, as well as the loss of earning capacity if you cannot go back to work
  • Property damage, including costs to replace or repair your car or other lost belongings
  • Emotional trauma and mental anguish brought on by the stresses involved in this type of accident
  • Quality of life changes, including inability to engage in activities you enjoy
  • Permanent disability
  • Wrongful death, in which case, the close family members can pursue financial compensation for all related losses

How did this accident impact your health, emotional well-being, and your future? With the help of our legal team, we will consider all of these and other factors to better understand what happened to you and what it means for your future.
