San Francisco Driving While Distracted Attorney
Was a Distracted Driver the Cause of Your Car Accident? Contact John J. Garvey, III
After a car accident, insurance claims adjusters have a way of appearing eager to "help" the injured. This is likely to mean a quick, inadequate offer of compensation. It can be tempting to accept the first offer when you are strapped for cash after a crash.
However, you may not realize how serious your injury is or how it will affect you in the long run in the immediate aftermath of an auto accident. It is important to get qualified legal counsel as soon as possible after a San Jose distracted driver was involved in your car accident or truck accident. An experienced lawyer can help you find the answers to many questions about your injuries, the severity of the accident, the causes of the accident and the financial aspects of recovery.
What will be the long-term effects of your back and neck injury, your painful soft tissue injury, your brain injury or bone fractures? What should happen next to help you get the compensation that you need? Contact an attorney to discuss what to do after your auto accident.
It is often said that the most common factors in car accidents are speed and inattention. A detailed investigation may reveal that a so-called accident was actually caused by a negligent operator of a motor vehicle who was distracted while driving by any of the following:
- Cell phone usage
- Texting
- Fidgeting with a radio
- Looking at a map or other paper object such as a note or newspaper
- Looking at a navigation device such as a GPS system
- Crying children
- Intervening in an argument in the back seat
- Heated conversation with a passenger
- Sightseeing
- Gawking at unusual occurrences, things or people outside the car
Whatever the source of distraction, San Jose distracted drivers cause many accidents. An experienced lawyer is a valuable ally who can help determine who was at fault and how to obtain the compensation that you need to pay for medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost wage replacement and financial consideration for pain and suffering that you endured.
