Accidents Caused by Distracted Drivers
There are numerous laws in place that aim to keep drivers focused on the roads. However, despite the laws, many drivers remain only partially focused when they are driving. They talk on cell phones, put on makeup at stoplights, and chow down on fast food. Most people do not believe their driving abilities are impaired as long as they have at least one eye on road. In reality, that is far from the truth.
Distracted drivers are responsible for hundreds of accidents each year, and the victims are usually innocent drivers who cannot protect themselves, even when they are driving defensively. If you were in a car accident that was caused by a distracted driver, we can help you hold that person accountable for the damages caused.
At Grazian & Volpe, P.C., we represent individuals throughout the area who were injured in accidents caused by negligent drivers. We are committed to making sure reckless and distracted drivers are held accountable for their mistakes, and we work aggressively to find the information we need.
Building Evidence in Accident Cases
When we are building cases for accidents that were caused by distracted drivers, one of the first things we do is review the police report. We carefully read witness statements, find out if damage photos were taken, and if possible, contact the witnesses themselves. Also, given the increased use of red light cameras and blue light surveillance systems throughout the Chicagoland area, we can many times get actual video of the moments leading up to an accident. When individuals contact Chicago distracted driver accident attorneys promptly, we are often able to gather more and better evidence from the scene of the accident.
