Distracted Driving Accidents

Texting, phone calls, eating, putting on make-up and checking emails are just some of the ways drivers are distracted on our roads. It is imperative that drivers be alert and aware of their surroundings while operating a motor vehicle. Distracted driving is becoming more and more responsible for many road-related fatalities.

Victims of injury as a result of a careless driver should be compensated for those that choose to concentrate on anything but the road.

If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of a distracted driver, contact the legal team at Diamond & Diamond™. Our team can ensure that you get the compensation you deserve.
