Distracted driving has become a serious and growing problem in South Carolina, leading to countless accidents, injuries, and fatalities. With the widespread use of smartphones, GPS devices, and other in-car distractions, drivers are increasingly taking their attention away from the road, resulting in devastating crashes.
In South Carolina, distracted driving is one of the leading causes of accidents, with behaviors such as texting, eating, adjusting the radio, or talking to passengers often contributing to collisions.
Victims of distracted driving accidents may suffer severe injuries, including broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and more. If you are injured in a distracted driving accident, you can hold the negligent driver accountable for their actions.
However, to do this, you must gather evidence that the driver was distracted during the accident. We can help.
How Can David W. Martin Accident & Injury Lawyers Help with My Distracted Driving Accident Claim?
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, distracted driving accidents claimed 3,308 lives on U.S. roadways last year.
However, most specialists believe distracted driving statistics are often underreported because it can be difficult to prove that a driver was distracted during an accident. Unlike clear-cut factors like speeding or drunk driving, distracted driving usually leaves no apparent physical evidence, making it hard for law enforcement to identify and document.
This is why we are here. From the moment you contact our skilled car accident and injury attorneys, we will thoroughly investigate your case, gathering critical evidence like police reports, phone records, surveillance and traffic camera footage, and eyewitness accounts to prove the at-fault driver’s distraction. Our team will work with accident reconstruction experts, if necessary, to establish how the distracted driving caused your injuries.
We handle all negotiations with insurance companies, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you don’t settle for less than your claim is worth. If an acceptable settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case to trial and provide strong advocacy in court.
Throughout the process, we focus on securing compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any long-term impacts on your quality of life.
