Typical Injuries from Distracted Driving Accidents

Distracted driving accidents can result in a myriad of injuries, ranging from mild to severe. Some common injuries include:

  • Whiplash and Neck Injuries: The abrupt force of a collision can lead to whiplash, causing strain and damage to the neck's soft tissues.
  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): The impact of a distracted driving accident can cause head injuries, leading to traumatic brain injuries that may have long-term consequences.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Severe accidents may lead to spinal cord injuries, affecting mobility and often requiring extensive medical care.
  • Broken Bones and Fractures: The force of a collision can cause fractures and breaks, necessitating medical attention and potential long-term rehabilitation.
  • Emotional Trauma: Beyond physical injuries, victims may experience emotional trauma, impacting their mental well-being and quality of life.

What Damages Could Be Recovered in a Distracted Driving Accident Claim?

Victims of distracted driving accidents are qualified to seek compensation for various damages incurred. Potentially recoverable damages include:

  • Medical Expenses: Compensation for present and future medical costs arising from injuries sustained in the accident, including hospital bills, surgeries, medication, and rehabilitation costs.
  • Lost Wages: Victims could be eligible for compensation for the income lost because of the inability to work during recovery. This includes both current and future lost wages.
  • Property Damage: Restoration or replacement costs for damaged vehicles and personal property involved in the accident.
  • Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages such as physical pain, emotional distress, and the overall effect on the victim's quality of life.
  • Loss of Consortium: Compensation for the harmful impact on personal relationships, including the loss of companionship, support, and intimacy.
  • Punitive Damages: In extreme negligence or willful misconduct cases, punitive damages may be awarded to deter the at-fault party and others from similar behavior.

Navigating Insurance Challenges After a Distracted Driving Accident

While proving the driver responsible for your accident was distracted may be challenging, facing their insurance company can be even harder. Insurance agents work for large corporations with teams of attorneys. Their goal is to protect their bottom line by minimizing, delaying, or denying your claim whenever possible. So, while you or your loved one may be suffering from pain, property damage, and the associated high costs of medical care and repair bills, they may be working to minimize your claim so you do not get the full and fair compensation you need to recover.

    “He allowed me to vent, responded accordingly, and return my text message as if we were friends.”
    Through this very difficult period in my life, I reached out to the Legal Aid Society and they assigned a Lawyer to assist me in filing for bankruptcy protection. Andrew Sexton took the time to speak with me on the phone, he walked me through the process with detailed emails explaining what I needed to do in order to make the process go smoothly. He allowed me to vent, responded accordingly, and return my text message as if we were friends. Everything was conducted electronically, and on the phone, we never met in person…. Amazing. I highly recommend this firm with handling your financial issues regarding Bankruptcy. Thanks, Mr. Sexton for your professionalism and your due diligence in regard to my case

    “From the very beginning, they were professional and very efficient in dealing with my case.”
    I was in a car accident back in July and got rear-ended because some guy was rushing on his way to work, you would think the guy would want to save more time by not filling out a police report and dealing with lawyer stuff but I guess not. I went on Google and found the Sexton Law Firm. From the very beginning, they were professional and very efficient in dealing with my case. I had the pleasure of meeting the head honcho, James Sexton. He was very personable and reassuring in taking care of my case. My case was dealt within one year, he even helped me get the medical assistance I needed. The entire time the law firm sent out ongoing emails giving me updates and letting me know how long I would have to wait for a response from the other party.
    Everything worked out perfectly, In the event that I am ever in another accident, I would definitely hire this firm again to handle it. Do I recommend them? Yes I do!

    “I would highly recommend this law firm for anyone needing help!”
    The Sexton Law Firm was very helpful during the entire process. Andrew was very helpful and knowledgeable. However, Asia was the most helpful. She answered all my questions and relieved my worries about the progress of my case. I would highly recommend this law firm for anyone needing help with bankruptcies.

    “His council was well received, and it was honest.”
    I was referred to Mr. Andrew Sexton at a time of great need, confusion, and embarrassment. His council was well received, and it was honest, offered clarity, and calmed four shoulders worth of concerns. I would recommend that your consideration for representation would be met with the same regard. Very grateful for his time, knowledge, and resources.
