Driving While Distracted
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), distracted driving causes one out of every five fatal accidents in the United States. The following are some of the most prevalent examples of distracted driving:
- Texting while driving
- Using a GPS system or an app
- Eating a meal while driving
- Using the phone or conversing with passengers
- Changing the climate controls
- Daydreaming
The easiest approach to prevent becoming distracted while driving is to pull over to the side of the road and do anything that will keep your eyes, focus, or mind away from the road.
Speeding
Speeding is involved in one-third of all automobile accidents. Unfortunately, approximately 89 percent of all drivers admit to speeding at some time in their lives. With that in mind, speeding-related automobile accidents can result in the most serious injuries and, in some circumstances, death.
If you were injured as a result of another driver’s excessive speed, you may be entitled to compensation through a personal injury claim. To discuss the specifics of your case, contact a car accident lawyer now.
Driving While Inebriated
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, like speeding, is a factor in approximately one-third of all automobile accidents. While driving, drinking alcohol or using drugs impairs a person’s ability to respond to risks, gauge their speed, and make rational judgments.
If you’ve sustained injuries due to the negligence of an impaired driver, you may have a solid personal injury case. To talk with a vehicle accident lawyer you can trust, contact us immediately.
Dangerous Driving
When driving a car, reckless driving is defined as the willful or purposeful disregard for the safety of others. It might include things like:
- Going more than 20 miles per hour over the speed limit
- Taking part in street racing
- Recklessly passing other cars
- Failure to yield the right of way
If you were injured in a vehicle accident, you may be entitled to full compensation for your losses and damages. Call The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker at 800-333-0000 now to learn about your options.
