Why Texting Can Cause Serious Injuries
Drivers who are texting do not have their full attention on the road. In addition, their hands may be off the steering wheel. This is a dangerous combination that can result in serious or fatal accidents.
Distracted drivers may be unable to:
- Adjust to changing traffic conditions
- See traffic signs and signals in time
- Adhere to the speed limit
- Notice motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians
Injury victims may suffer broken or crushed bones, severe lacerations, head injuries, back and neck injuries, spinal cord injuries and internal organ damage. These injuries can take months to heal; some may be permanent. If you or a family member suffered temporary or permanent disability from the accident, you will need significant compensation to cover all of your past, current and future losses.
