Compassionate Chicago Accident Attorneys Advocate for Your Rights Against Distracted Drivers
Skilled representation for victims of distracted drivers across Illinois
In the age of information, our devices have become extensions of ourselves. Unfortunately, some individuals don’t recognize that there is a time for everything, and driving is definitely not the proper time to text a message. While the most common form of distraction is cell phones, anything that draws a driver’s attention from the road can lead to an accident. When a driver takes their eyes or their concentration off the road for any reason, even for just a second, that is time they are not paying attention to their surroundings and accidents can occur. Distracted driving is a major problem on the roadways today, leading to far too many serious and fatal injuries.
If you and your family have been impacted by the actions of a distracted driver, Gainsberg Law is here to guide you through the process of securing adequate compensation for all resulting injuries. We have a proven history of advocacy for injury victims throughout Cook, Lake, DuPage, Kane, and Will Counties. Secure the services of an experienced Chicago auto accident lawyer to help you with the legal process after a crash caused by a distracted driver.
What can cause distraction while driving?
According to Distraction.gov, more than 3,000 people were killed as a result of distracted driving accidents in 2014, along with more than 430,000 injuries. Some of the most common distracting behaviors include:
- Text messaging
- Talking on a phone
- Accessing a navigation system
- Using a phone to access information
- Watching videos
- Eating and/or drinking
- Reading
- Talking to passengers
- Adjusting a music player
- Grooming
These simple, everyday activities can turn deadly when done by the operator of a vehicle. Even a couple of seconds can make a fatal difference when drivers take their eyes off of the road. If you do find yourself injured by the poor decisions of a distracted driver, trust a knowledgeable Chicago distracted driver accident attorney to handle your case.
