Chicago Distracted Driving Accident Lawyer

Trusted Injury Lawyers Helping Victims of Cell Phone Accidents

In the early days, that’s something most people didn’t give much thought to. But cell phones quickly grew more sophisticated, and with the introduction of text messages and smartphones came a whole new era of distracted driving.

The truth is that using a cell phone was always dangerous, but it is especially irresponsible these days. Too many cars have crashed, too many pedestrians have been struck, and too many motorists have lost their lives for this trend to continue.

Cell phones have been around for a long time now, and the truth is that most Americans have driven a car with a cell phone in their hands at some point in their lives.

And yet it continues anyway. Chicagoans know better by now, but as anyone who’s ridden down the road in the last week or so knows, texting while driving is alive and well.

As Chicago auto accident attorneys, we want to take a moment to urge Windy City drivers to reconsider their actions. And at the same time, we want to let the victims of cell phone injury know that you have rights under Chicago personal injury law — including the right to financial compensation, which we will fight to maximize.

Cell Phone Accident Are More Common Than You Think

Cell phone use is a documented factor in thousands of accidents and hundreds of fatalities in the United States every single year. The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society estimates that texting while driving has been responsible for nearly half a million injuries.

The National Safety Council (NSC) says those numbers don’t even begin to tell the whole story. Because cell phone use is difficult to prove, and because drivers rarely admit to having used a phone at the time of the crash, the actual cell phone usage rate is likely drastically underreported in official crash documentation.

Cell Phone Injury Victims Have a Right to Monetary Compensation

If you’ve been injured in any auto accident in which the at-fault driver’s use of a cell phone or tablet contributed to your injury, you may be entitled to substantial financial compensation under Illinois state law.
