Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit For Distracted Driving

Distracted drivers are one of the most significant dangers to the safety of others on the road. They are more likely to veer out of their lanes, fail to obey traffic signals, fail to brake for stopped traffic or pedestrians, and observe bicyclists or motorcycle drivers who are lawfully sharing the roadways.

When an accident caused by a distracted driver leads to severe or fatal injuries, a lawsuit may be necessary, to ensure that liability is properly established against the negligent driver, and that the injured victim is fairly compensated.

If you were injured as the result of a distracted driver, or the surviving family member of someone killed or injured by a distracted driver, you may be entitled to compensation for pain, suffering, wage loss, out-of- pocket expenses, and other damages.

Our attorneys can help you determine the strength of your case and the damages to which you are legally entitled. Because we can help you to preserve evidence (such as text messaging records that may be important to proving your case), and that you may not be able to obtain on your own, it is better to act sooner than later. In addition, it is important to keep in mind that Pennsylvania imposes a two-year statute of limitations from the date of an accident, on the time that you have to file a personal injury lawsuit.

Our attorneys at Georgelis Injury Law Firm, P.C. have the knowledge, skill, and experience to help victims of distracted driving and will fight for the compensation your case deserves.
