How We Can Help
Obtaining the financial recovery that you deserve for a texting and driving car accident can be difficult without help from a distracted driving attorney in San Antonio. A lawyer can return to the scene of the crash, interview eyewitnesses, hire experts and crash reconstructionists, obtain the other driver’s cell phone records, and take other actions to support your claim. We can take over negotiations with a car insurance company to seek a just case outcome on your behalf.
About Distracted Driving
Distracted driving is a growing epidemic that threatens the safety of all road users. Distracted driving refers to operating a motor vehicle without 100 percent of the driver’s attention focused on the driving task. In 2021, 3,522 people lost their lives in distracted driving accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Texting and driving is the most common form of distracted driving.
Texting and Driving Accidents Can Cause Catastrophic Injuries
The nature of a texting and driving car accident can lead to life-altering or permanently debilitating injuries, especially if a crash occurs at high speed. A distracted driver may not hit the brakes before the point of impact, which can result in severe injuries and wrongful death.
Common injuries include:
- Amputations
- Broken bones
- Burn injuries
- Internal injuries or organ damage
- Permanent paralysis
- Severe lacerations and scarring
- Soft-tissue injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
It is especially important to work with a car accident lawyer in San Antonio if you or a loved one suffered a catastrophic injury in a texting and driving accident. It may be more difficult for you to obtain a fair settlement from a car insurance provider for a life-changing injury.
Chain Reaction Car Accidents and Distracted Driving
A chain reaction car accident refers to rear-end collisions that involve three or more drivers. In a chain reaction crash, the force of the initial rear-end collision propels the first vehicle into the car in front of it, creating a second rear-end collision. This chain of events can repeat itself until many drivers are involved.
If the rearmost driver in the first rear-end collision was texting while driving, he or she can be held liable (financially responsible) for all subsequent collisions. Since the distracted driver caused the crash that triggered the chain reaction, his or her car insurance company will be responsible for paying for all involved parties’ expenses.
