It is a basic duty for drivers to pay attention to the road as they operate a motor vehicle. This should go without saying. Unfortunately, a lot of drivers still fail to live up to this basic idea. Across the nation, distracted driving is quickly rising to the top of the list of causes contributing to deadly collisions. In a recent year, distracted drivers caused 424,000 injuries and 3,100 fatalities in total across the country. One in five of these victims was not inside a car at the time of the accident. If you or someone close to you is hurt by a reckless driver, you may be able to pursue a claim for compensation with the help of a trained attorney.
