Distracted Driving Is A Choice

Distracted driving is a well-known problem in Georgia and throughout the nation. A car or truck driven by a distracted driver is like a train without a conductor, capable of causing life-changing catastrophic injuries. If you or a loved one has been hurt as a result of distracted driving, you need strong legal representation to maximize your compensation.

At Isenberg & Hewitt, PC, our Atlanta-based personal injury lawyers have dealt with distracted driving accident victims, and they are here to make sure you receive the full compensation you deserve if you are injured by a negligent, distracted driver. We have more than 25 years of experience and have the resources and knowledge necessary to take on the insurance companies defending these people. Our goal is to make sure you are not victimized a second time as a result of their first offer.

Forms Of Distracted Driving

The most common and quickly increasing forms of distracted driving incidents include texting while driving and talking on a cellphone while driving. In addition to these all-too-prevalent distractions, distracted driving accidents can be caused by drivers who get behind the wheel and then:

  • Read emails on mobile devices
  • Look at maps or GPS devices
  • Groom themselves (such as brushing hair, applying makeup and shaving)
  • Adjust the radio or portable music devices
  • Eat or drink
  • Read newspapers, magazines or books

Any type of distraction can lead to accidents that may result in life-altering injuries or death. According to the United States Department of Transportation, more than 420,000 people were injured in distracted driving accidents in 2012. This was nearly a 10 percent increase over the prior year.

Hurt By A Distracted Driver? Let Us Protect Your Rights.

When a driver makes the choice to text while driving or does not pay attention to the road, it is no longer an accident. For this act of negligence, you have a right to pursue compensation for any injuries you sustain.
