Cell Phone Use
Cell phones have made it easier to stay in touch and access information instantly. However, smartphones can be dangerous when someone is texting, talking, or browsing the internet as they drive. After an auto accident, your attorney can check cell phone records to determine if the other driver was distracted by texting while behind the wheel or engaging in another dangerous distracted driving behavior.
Eating or Drinking
Texting isn’t the only cause of distracted driving. Other drivers may feel pressed for time and grab food to go. They’ll eat as they drive, causing a manual distraction and may look away from the road while eating.
Personal Grooming
Applying makeup or other personal grooming behaviors are other ways drivers may be distracted while driving their vehicle.
Talking to Passengers
Parents can become distracted by their young children in the backseat. Young drivers may also find it hard to strike a balance between carrying on a conversation with passengers and driving.
Whether distracted driving happens due to passengers, grooming, or other reasons, our legal team can help you pursue justice for your injuries.
Types of Compensation Available for Victims in a Milwaukee Distracted Driving Accident
All drivers have a duty to operate their vehicles in a safe and reasonable way. When drivers become distracted, they breach that duty and crashes are usually the direct result.
Your injuries may be severe, such as a traumatic brain injury or a spinal cord injury. These types of injuries may permanently impact your life and require ongoing medical care.
Our lawyers can help determine the amount of your past and future financial losses in order to ensure that you are fully compensated. Your medical bills associated with your injuries could include your hospital stay, surgeries, doctor visits, physical therapy, prescriptions, and more.
Lost wages and loss of earning capacity are another significant component of your damages. If you are seriously injured, you may be unable to work. Your lost income may make it difficult to provide for your family until you heal from your injuries. Drivers who are distracted must be held accountable for the full extent of the damages they cause.
Additionally, we will seek compensation for non-economic damages such as mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and pain and suffering. Punitive damages may also apply if the distracted driver is deemed to have acted maliciously or with an intentional disregard of the victim’s rights.
