Leveling The Playing Field For Victims Of Auto Collisions, Bicycle Crashes And More.

Texting And Driving Can Cause Serious Accidents And Life-Changing Injuries For Victims

California law prohibits drivers from using a handheld cellphone while driving. The lives of other automobile drivers, truck drivers, motorcyclists and bicyclists are placed at risk each time someone decides to text and drive. Texting and driving accidents can lead to devastating, life-changing injuries or even death.

Personal injury lawyer Scott Sumner in Walnut Creek, California, has been representing victims for over 25 years. He has recovered millions in compensation for his clients, and he can help you pursue just compensation following your accident.

Texting And Driving Statistics

Although the act of reading or sending a text may seem harmless, cellphone use while driving can have devastating consequences:

Injuries Resulting From Texting And Driving

Both minor and catastrophic injuries can occur as a result of a texting and driving accident. These include:

  • Brain injury
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Loss of limb
  • Paralysis
  • Broken bones
  • Wrongful death

These injuries can have permanently debilitating effects. In some cases, your injury can prevent you from working or engaging in the daily activities you once enjoyed. Rather than settling with an insurance company, you should seek the help of a personal injury lawyer.
