SpanishWe hear about driver distraction causing car accidents all the time. Whether a driver is talking on their cell phone, texting or eating, anything done while driving that pulls attention from the road is dangerous. This danger increases substantially when the distracted driver is a commercial truck driver. Large, fast-moving semi-trucks pose a significant threat to passenger vehicles and when they are being operated by a distracted driver, that threat is even worse.
Unfortunately, despite the best efforts to prevent distracted driving, many commercial carrier companies have drivers that are still guilty of it. And although they may go day to day thinking their distracted driving is not an issue, they may be quick to apologize after an accident. For individuals that have been victimized by these negligent practices, an apology is not enough. In order to recover and recoup, those injured may need the help of an attorney.
An experienced personal injury attorney can help injured individuals and their families receive the compensation they are entitled to after a distracted driver accident. Commercial carriers have the resources and time to play hardball with injured individuals after an accident. Fortunately, there are lawyers who know how to aggressively represent injured parties and fight for the compensation they need and deserve.
If you or someone you love has been injured by a distracted commercial truck driver, you should not have to settle for less than you deserve. By working with an experienced personal injury attorney, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your pain and suffering, lost wages and medical bills. A lawyer experienced with commercial carrier accidents can help you hold the individual and company who is responsible for your injuries accountable for their negligence.
