Texting While Driving Car Accidents
Everyone knows that motor vehicle accidents happen on the road all the time. It is much more difficult to accept, however, when the accident was caused by someone else's gross negligence and recklessness. With major advances in telecommunications technology in the past number of years, there are more distractions than ever on the road. These technologies, however, greatly increase the chances of motor vehicle accidents for everyone on the road.
Kinnard, Clayton & Beveridge has received the AV Preeminent rating* under Martindale-Hubbell's peer-review rating system. Our firm has been listed in Best Law Firms in America. Our attorneys' credentials are both individually and collectively impressive; they include certification by the Tennessee Commission for Continuing Legal Education as a Civil Trial Specialist and as a Medical Malpractice Specialist, selection as a Mid-South Super Lawyer**, recognition in the Top 100 attorneys in Tennessee by Law and Politics Magazine, and inclusion in the guidebook Best Lawyers in America.
We believe that the party responsible for a motor vehicle accident and that party's insurance carrier should be held financially responsible. If you were injured in a car accident as a result of someone else not paying attention to the road, you should be compensated for the medical bills, pain and suffering and lost wages that you incurred. Our attorneys will fight for your compensation.
On-the-Road Distractions Causing Accidents
Driving a car safely requires total attention. Too many drivers greatly increase the dangers on the road through distractions that include:
- Cellphone use while driving
- Texting while driving
- Eating while driving
- Adjusting the radio while driving
- Driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs
Establishing in the courtroom that someone was engaging in distracting activities while driving is an important part of establishing liability. It shows that the other driver was at fault and helps us hold that party responsible and accountable for the harms and losses incurred by our clients. Whether we settle or take your claim to litigation, we will fight for your full and fair compensation.
