Lexington Distracted Driving Accident Attorney

Why You Need an Experienced Attorney

Driving requires a person's full attention. Unfortunately, many drivers today do not seem to understand this, and they engage in activities while driving that they would not attempt while riding a bike, riding in a motorcycle, or piloting a boat. One such activity is texting while driving. Texting while driving is one of the most dangerous things a driver can do, and it is the cause of many accidents and injuries. If you were injured in a car accident due to another driver's distraction or texting, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries and damages.

At The Rick Hall Law Firm, LLC, we believe that no one should have to go through the aftermath of a serious accident alone. We are here to help you understand your legal rights and options, and we can fight to protect your interests.

Texting While Driving Statistics

In the United States, there are more than 380 million cell phones in use (1), and more than 91% of American adults own a cell phone of some kind (2). As a result, texting while driving has become an extremely common activity. In fact, many drivers text while they are stopped at a red light or waiting in traffic. Unfortunately, texting while driving is just as dangerous as driving drunk, and it is responsible for many accidents, injuries, and even deaths.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):

• More than 3,000 people were killed in accidents involving a distracted driver in 2011(4).
• Drivers who text are 23 times more likely to get into an accident(5).
• Drivers who text are more likely to get into an accident as drunk drivers(6).

Clearly, texting while driving is a dangerous activity that can lead to tragedy. If you were injured in a car accident caused by a texting driver, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries and damages.
