Distracted Driving

We’ve seen distracted drivers do a lot of crazy things during our time as lawyers. We’ve seen a driver cause an accident after accidentally shooting himself. We’ve seen a driver turn around to pet her dog while driving. We’ve seen a driver focus on grabbing a drink out of a cooler instead of watching the road. We’ve seen a driver zone out while watching trees go by. We’ve seen drivers fall asleep. Of course, we’ve also seen drivers cause accidents by texting and driving.

Research by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration concludes thousands of people are killed every year by distracted drivers, and even more are injured.

As experienced Atlanta distracted driving accident attorneys, Jackson Injury Law understands the seriousness of these crashes and the legal strategies it takes to hold careless drivers accountable.

Read below to find more about what we can do for you and your family if you’ve been injured by a distracted driver.

Investigation

We pride ourselves on thoroughly investigating and finding the evidence we need to put our best foot forward during negotiations. We will obtain police files, witness statements, videos, photographs, and anything else that will explain how the other driver was distracted and strengthen your claim for maximum compensation.

Legal Guidance

One of our most important jobs is to educate our clients. The right information can help you feel more comfortable with the legal process. More importantly, a thorough explanation of your rights will empower you to make the best decisions for yourself and your family. A strong understanding of the legal process will give you peace of mind and allow you to navigate what would otherwise be a scary and uncomfortable situation.

Negotiations

Trucking companies and their insurers draw from a wealth of experience when negotiating against people who have been injured in accidents. They use this experience to pay injured people as little as possible – to them, it’s not personal, it’s just business. Unsurprisingly, people who don’t have an attorney usually recover much less for their medical bills and pain and suffering, which adds insult to their injuries. Experienced trucking attorneys like Chris Jackson typically recover far more money than unrepresented claimants. Former trucking defense lawyers like Chris are especially well-equipped to build a valuable case by finding and applying leverage against insurance companies during negotiations.

Litigation

Many cases do not go to court. Even if your case can be resolved without a lawsuit against a distracted driver, having a skilled attorney on your side will almost always get you a better result. Not all attorneys provide the same results. When choosing an attorney, you should choose one who has the experience and resolve to litigate your case all the way through trial. Insurance companies know which attorneys litigate and which ones don’t, and litigators like the attorneys at Jackson Injury Law usually get better results for their clients even in cases where they don’t file lawsuits.
