Were you or someone you love injured in a car accident by a distracted driver? Cell phone use is one of the most common forms of driver distraction. Texting is one of the most dangerous things a person can do while driving a car. Normally it takes almost 5 seconds to pick up a cell phone and quickly review a message. At 55 MPH your car will travel more than the length of a football field. It is the same as driving with your eyes closed for five seconds.
The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports thousands killed each year in fatal accidents caused by distracted drivers. Almost half a million people in the United States were injured in a car accident by a distracted driver in the most recent year. The consequences are serious, and if you have been injured in a car accident you will need the experienced Louisville injury attorneys at Hargadon Lenihan & Herrington (HLH).
