Why Is Texting and Driving Dangerous?
Taking your eyes off the road for a few seconds can seem like it won’t have a considerable impact on your safety. This, however, could not be further from the truth.
Everyday distractions can lead to devastating accidents. Texting and driving, which can take longer than you might think, can lead to rear-end collisions and rollovers because the act splits your attention.
For example, if you text and drive while going 70 miles an hour on the highway, you may travel nearly the length of a football field in the time it takes to compose a single message. If the traffic patterns in front of you shift dramatically, you may not have the time to stop and prevent yourself from causing an accident. The same can be said for the people around you.
Our Roswell personal injury lawyers know that it’s with these dangers in mind that Georgia passed its Hands-Free Law. The Hands-Free Law notes that police officers have the right to ticket anyone caught texting and driving behind the wheel. Likewise, offenders can face more serious criminal consequences if their distraction causes a crash that injures or kills someone.
Why Work With Our Roswell Texting While Driving Accident Lawyers?
A texting while driving accident can leave you to deal with the cost of substantial property damage and emergency room care. It’s not easy to pay those bills on your own, especially if you have to take time away from work to heal. Working with our texting while driving crash attorney in Roswell will help reduce your stress.
Our legal team will gather the evidence you need to present a case for damages to the right insurance company. We will secure phone logs, video recordings of a negligent driver’s behavior, and witness statements to move your case forward.
Cellphone carriers and rideshare or delivery apps often only retain records for a limited time, so acting quickly can make a real difference in your case. Our attorneys will send preservation letters soon after you hire us to ensure this evidence isn’t lost before we can review it.
We will also calculate the value of your losses and prevent insurers from talking you into accepting a lowball offer. We will also protect your right to continue negotiations by filing a lawsuit before Georgia’s personal injury statute of limitations (Georgia Code § 9-3-33) expires.
How to Seek Damages After a Texting While Driving Accident
Our legal team will also push back against any arguments that you caused the accident. Jones & Swanson will conduct an independent investigation into the crash to determine what economic and non-economic losses you can include in your demand for damages.
Economic damages can help cover the cost of your emergency room care and ongoing medical expenses, including physical therapy. Economic damages can also cover the wages you lost while taking time off work and the cost of repairing or replacing damaged personal property.
You can also include non-economic losses in your claim. Your non-economic losses may include any emotional distress or pain and suffering you’ve endured due to the liable party’s negligence. We will also pursue damages for your reduced quality of life, as appropriate.
