Texting and Driving - Distracted Driving - Accident Lawyer

After any accident, it’s important to gather as much information about the crash as possible. If possible, remain on the scene and collect as much information as possible, such as where the crash occurred, which direction both vehicles were traveling, the speed of both cars, the other driver’s name and license plate number, insurance company information, police report numbers, photographs of the crash scene and injuries, and the names of any eyewitnesses. Within this information could be evidence of the driver’s distraction – especially if his or her phone played a role.

It is possible to access the other driver’s phone records to find proof of texting and driving at the time of a crash. You need a team of investigators to handle this process for you. Thus, it is vital to contact an experienced attorney promptly when you suspect cell-phone related driver distraction. Our lawyers can take care of preservation of vital evidence, so the defendant or other parties do not destroy the records. We can use cell phone records, eyewitness accounts, data from the accident scene, and camera surveillance footage to help prove the other driver’s negligence.

Once we identify evidence of negligence (in the form of texting while driving or some other type of distracted driving), we can help you, the victim, pursue maximum compensation through an insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit. Most car accident claims settle successfully without going to court. Sometimes it is in a victim’s best interest to go before a judge and jury to secure just and fair compensation. Our very experienced trial lawyers have what it takes to go to court on your behalf if that is what it takes to secure the recovery you deserve.
