Hit By a Driver Who Was On Their Cellphone? Call an Arlington Injury Lawyer.


Arlington is one of the few in the state of Texas that recognizes how dangerous distracted driving really is. Nowadays, everyone has a cellphone. Unfortunately, far too many people talk, text, email and tweet when their behind the wheel of their car. This causes a great danger both to themselves and to other road users. As a personal injury lawyer, I am strongly in favor of restricting cell phone use while driving. There is no excuse for it, and if you've been injured as a result of a driver who was texting while driving it would be an honor to fight your case for you.

There have been numerous studies to show how dangerous distracted driving is. A study by the University of Utah found that a distracted driver's ability to safely operate a vehicle is less than an intoxicated driver. Suppose that it only takes you five seconds to look down at read an email on your smart phone? At 30 miles per hour, that's nearly half a mile you've driven without looking at the road. At 60 mph, it's further than the length of a football field.

Using a cellphone while driving kills. I've seen cases where pickups have slammed into the back of cars at traffic lights, where 18 wheelers have run stop signs, where cars have drifted out of their lane into the path of a motorcycle. What's particularly dangerous about texting while driving is the high rate of fatal single vehicle wrecks caused by distracted driving.

If you or a loved one has been hurt in a crash caused by one of these highly irresponsible drivers, I have the experience and the resources necessary to fight the insurance company to make sure you get the full and fair compensation you deserve. This includes money to cover all past and future medical expenses related to the accident (hospital and doctor bills, prescriptions, physical therapy, chiropractor) and any loss of salary, wages or other income you may have missed out on due to your inability to work.

Texas law entitles you to these damages, but if you don't have an attorney to back you up, please be cautious when dealing with the insurance company. The adjustor's job is to protect their employer's bottom line, so they will try every trick in the book to make you go away without the compensation you deserve. Sometimes they'll offer you a paltry check which doesn't even come close to covering your costs, but they do it because they know many accident victims need money straight away, even though it can have devastating effects of your finances later on. Sometimes they will just deny your claim outright and bully you into giving up.

You need to speak to a board certified personal injury lawyer. I offer completely free, no obligation consultations. If you hire me, there is no upfront fee. I only get paid when I win your case. Call me toll free at 800-354-6275 or locally in Arlington at either 817-294-1900 or 214-327-8000.
