When Texting Leads to Car Accidents
Driver distraction is a common cause of accidents. Texting while driving is one of the most dangerous distractions because it requires users to look down at their phone for several seconds at a time.
Despite a law making it illegal for drivers to use their cell phones, many people still text while they are driving. In many situations, the tragic result is a car accident involving serious or fatal injuries.
Klest Injury Law Firm works with injured people and their families throughout Illinois to file personal injury claims. Because the law is unmistakably clear about texting and driving, it is not very difficult to prove a driver was breaking the law. Cell phone records typically showcase the driver's illegal activity, and lawyers at the firm can help unearth the evidence necessary to make a strong case.
Injuries Caused by Inattentive Drivers
When drivers do not pay full attention to the road, the results can be dangerous. The weight of a car, even when moving slowly, can cause serious damage to a pedestrian, biker or to another driver on the road. Attorney Joseph Klest has represented injured parties and their families who were impacted by:
- Broken bones
- Whiplash
- Back and spine injuries
- Fatal accidents
