Distracted Driving is Dangerous Driving

In this day and age of smart phones, it is extremely easy to succumb to the temptation to text, or simply look at your phone while driving.  Even a quick glance down at your phone can have deadly consequences because it is simply impossible to pay attention to what is happening around you, if your eyes are on your phone.  The reality is no matter if it is a phone, a rambunctious child in the back seat, or a meal you are trying to eat, being distracted can result in you causing, or being involved in a motor vehicle accident.

Studies show that teenage drivers are particularly susceptible to being distracted while driving.  Most state laws prohibit teenage drivers from using electronic devices, or phones while driving.  If you have a teenage driver make sure you set strict rules about radio and phone use, and encourage their good habits by modeling your own good habits and caution when you are driving.  The reality is that there is no text, or email that is worth your life, or that of an innocent party that comes into contact with you the distracted driver!

What is a Personal Injury Attorney?

A personal injury attorney is one that specializes in helping individuals that get injured in motor vehicle accidents, on the job, or in other circumstances.  Over the years, this section of the law has taken quite a public relations beating in the media with terms like “snake,” “shark,” or “ambulance chaser” being used to describe attorneys that work exclusively helping individuals, not corporations.  The reality is that personal injury attorneys are the only attorneys that have the knowledge, experience, and resources to take on the big corporations, and insurance companies, and help the so called “little guy” get the compensation he deserves.

Throughout recorded history those with power and money such as big companies have used this power and money in certain circumstances to exploit their workers, or gain an unfair advantage.  To the insurance companies, people that file claims are literally just claim numbers, rather than people with families to support.  It is the job of the insurance company, or self-insured big corporation to try and pay the person that they injured as little as possible because it’s just “good for business.”

Personal injury attorneys are the last white knights that exist in today’s society, and can literally be the only thing preventing a person from getting taken advantage of by an insurance company, or self-insured corporation.  Without personal attorneys, justice is often not served.  For through lawsuits brought on the behalf of the injured, personal injury lawyers have acted to check corporate recklessness, and made the world a fairer and safer place.
