Texting And Distracted Drivers Are Dangerous Drivers
The laws in Pennsylvania make it illegal to text while driving. Sending texts, reading texts or composing texts is against the law and punishable by a $50 fine. Nonetheless, this has done almost nothing to stop motorists from continuing to text while driving.
A distracted driver is a dangerous driver. If you or a loved one sustained an injury due to a motorist that was texting or otherwise distracted, you can count on Bellwoar Kelly, LLP to provide the personal injury help that you need. Our personal injury attorneys can help you obtain compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and other losses. We offer free initial consultations. To schedule yours, please call our West Chester, Pennsylvania, law firm at 610-314-7066.
We Handle All Types Of Distracted Driving Accidents
What else comes to mind when you think of distracted driving? While cellphone use and texting while driving is a front-runner, our lawyers also help people who have been injured by motorists who were:
- Applying makeup while driving
- Eating or drinking while driving
- Attending to children while driving
- Attending to pets while driving
- Adjusting GPS/navigation settings while driving
Our fast-paced society has ample opportunities to be distracted. However, driving is one time when motorists should avoid all temptations for distraction. When you keep your eyes on the road and your mind focused on driving, you are increasing the chances that you will arrive at your destination without incident and that you will keep others out of harm’s way.
Being injured by a distracted driver can be a devastating experience. Your injuries may leave you with extensive medical bills, the inability to work for a period of time and many other problems. Distracted drivers can also cause fatal car accidents, leaving grieving families to require attentive and caring guidance in wrongful death claims.
Bellwoar Kelly, LLP provides dedicated and committed help to injured people and their families in Pennsylvania. We offer the legal guidance that you need to secure maximum compensation for your losses.
