Handling Injury Cases Arising From Texting While Driving in Illinois
Driving in Chicagoland is tough. The traffic, the road construction and the speed are notorious. When drivers add to the distractions already present and cause accidents, they can be held responsible for the injuries and expenses that result.
At our Chicago law firm, The Jasmer Law Firm, our principal attorney assists clients who were injured by distracted drivers. We also file wrongful death lawsuits for the families of people who died in this type of accident. Whatever type of legal action we take, clients can rely on our firm to investigate thoroughly and to build strong cases.
Common Causes of Distracted Driving
Our attorney has handled distracted driving cases in which the accident was caused by other drivers who were:
- Texting
- Talking on a cell phone
- Dialing a cell phone
- Eating
- Applying makeup or shaving
- Reading
- Looking at the GPS or a map
These behaviors are even more dangerous if carried out by someone who is drowsy or sleepy. Our Chicago distracted driving accident attorney has developed a legal strategy based on issues around sleep-deprived drivers. He has been at the forefront of using sleep deprivation combined with distractions such as those listed here to demonstrate that the driver who caused the accident was negligently impaired by fatigue.
Our lawyer works with an array of nationally recognized experts and specialists when seeking full and fair compensation for the firm's injured clients. We get cell phone records, interview witnesses and passengers, and reconstruct stored GPS data. We analyze data to determine if the driver was conducting a search. We consult with nationally recognized experts and specialists to determine the impact of the accident on a client's life. We evaluate all insurance coverage and make sure that all potential defendants are named.
