Compensation for Your Texting While Driving Accident Injuries

Our Brooklyn personal injury lawyers have seen first-hand how devastating car accidents can be. You have a right to seek financial recovery for more than just your physical injuries, as well. The way your accident-related injuries affected your life will also determine your potential compensation.

For example, you can seek economic damages, such as medical expenses, lost income, and reduced earning capacity if you suffered permanent impairment. Non-economic damages may also apply in your case.

For example, you can seek awards for:

• Your physical pain and emotional suffering
• Disability
• Loss of quality of life
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Loss of consortium

Texting While Driving Is Riskier Than Most Drivers Believe

Texting while driving may seem like a simple task, but research shows that it requires far more mental attention than it seems to. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) illustrates the risks of this form of distracted driving. It compared writing or reading a text while traveling 55 miles per hour to driving the length of a football field with your eyes closed.

Any action that takes your hands off the wheel, eyes off the road, or mind off of driving increases the risk of auto accidents. If you suffered injuries in an accident involving any type of distracted driving, our lawyers in Brooklyn can help.

Our Lawyers Can Help if You Lost a Family Member in a Texting While Driving Accident

If you lost a relative in a distracted driving accident, your family deserves to grieve in peace and honor the memory of your loved one. You deserve justice and compensation, too. While you focus on your family, our Brooklyn wrongful death lawyers can handle your claim.

Few families are financially prepared for such a sudden and tragic loss. A settlement or verdict can help cover end-of-life expenses and help you financially cope in your loved one’s absence.

Our Brooklyn Texting While Driving Accident Attorneys Can Help Prove Negligence

If you suspect the other driver in the accident was texting while driving, our team will get to the bottom of it. When we investigate your accident, we will gather evidence to demonstrate the other party’s negligence, such as:

• Cell phone data, such as text message history
• Traffic camera footage
• Police reports
• Witness statements
• Expert witness testimony, such as an accident reconstructionist
• Data from smart car technology

Once we establish negligence and liability, we can file an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. We will not hesitate to represent you in a trial if an insurer refuses to offer a fair settlement.

Call Morelli Law Firm today to begin your free consultation. We can start working on your case immediately, which helps preserve evidence.

Legal Deadline for Filing a Texting While Driving Accident Lawsuit

If your case does call for legal action, our legal team will have to file your lawsuit within the statute of limitations. Typically, New York CVP §214(5) allows you three years, starting from the date of the accident, to file a suit.

If you miss this deadline, the court could dismiss your entire case. You would have no legal recourse against an insurance company or the liable party.

To avoid this, start working on your case as soon as possible. It all starts with making the first phone call, and our Brooklyn texting while driving accident lawyers can handle everything else.

Begin Treatment for Your Car Accident Injuries Immediately

Another way you can protect your right to secure compensation after a car accident is to see a doctor. Even if you believe your injuries are not severe, you need a diagnosis from a physician. They can identify serious injuries that may have latent symptoms.

If you delay starting treatment for car accident injuries, they can get worse, making it harder for you to recover. Plus, an insurance adjuster could argue that your injuries do not warrant compensation or that you contributed to them.

The best thing to do is follow through with your doctor’s orders. Our distracted driving accident attorneys can consult with your medical providers to ensure we seek a fair settlement.
