When Their Texting Causes Your Injury

We've all seen it: Some of us have even been guilty of doing it. Drivers who text, read emails from their phone, or even some who check and post to social networks all while trying to drive. For many, the mentality is that they can do that and pay attention all at the same time. They are convinced that their multitasking abilities enable them to safely drive and text, drive and read, drive and network, all at the same time. Some remain convinced of their abilities right up until they cause a serious accident. If you have been the victim of such recklessness, an accident lawyer in Greensboro can help.

Despite warning from virtually every national safety agency, law enforcement personnel, and state and municipal officials, there are some drivers who still insist on texting while driving. Auto accident experts are very clear that distractions of any kind limit a driver's ability to avoid an accident, but most drivers do not think about the fact that they could cause a serious accident until it is too late. If you have been injured in such an accident, no amount of grief or regret from the driver after the fact can undo your pain or suffering.


There is a way to obtain restitution and some sense of justice, however, and that is by contacting a personal injury lawyer who serves the Greensboro area. Though the accident and the injury that you sustained cannot be undone, you can be fully compensated for your medical expenses and, in many instances, for the pain and suffering that you and your family have had to endure. If you have lost time from work and/or you will not be able to return to your former occupation because of your injury, you may be entitled to additional compensation, as well. When you consult with your lawyer, your lawyer will be able to advise you regarding the types or remuneration you can seek and the results that you can reasonably anticipate.

In addition to providing legal counsel, your lawyer will also serve as your advocate following the accident. Having to deal with insurance adjusters, medical billing offices, and employers does not serve as the most conducive environment for recovery. While you focus your attention on healing from the accident, your attorney can negotiate on your behalf, relieving a great deal of stress and anxiety for you.

The fact that your accident occurred, despite the fact that it did not have to, cannot be reversed. However, your lawyer can help to ensure that you not continue to suffer the ill effects of another's negligence. If you live in the Greensboro area, contact a personal injury lawyer today to get the help you deserve.
