Texting And Distracted Driving

We Hold Distracted Drivers Liable For The Harm They Cause

In addition to drunk drivers, serious accidents and injuries are caused by distracted drivers such as those using cellphones. New York drivers can use cellphones only if they are operated hands-free. Because of the dangers of distracted driving, New York revised the law governing handheld cellphones and driving use in February 2011. Now, two points will be added to an offender’s license for using a handheld cellphone while driving.

If you or a family member has been injured by a distracted driver, you can take action. Cerchione Hurowitz Law Group LLP represents injury victims as well as people who have lost a loved one to wrongful death. You can trust our experience with serious injury claims.

Whether we negotiate a settlement or take the case to trial, we will pursue your claim until we get results. Call our New York distracted driver accident attorneys at 646-666-3030 .

Seeking Compensation For Serious Injuries

A University of Utah study reports that cellphone use impairs drivers as much as having a blood alcohol content of .08 percent. Our New York distracted driver accident attorneys will investigate your accident to determine liability and hold the negligent party accountable for using a handheld cellphone to talk, text, email, use the internet, take photos, or play games or music.

Accidents caused by distracted drivers can cause serious injuries such as broken bones, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), back injuries, neck injuries and spinal cord injuries. Any of these injuries may result in temporary or permanent disability.

Our lawyers work with medical and financial experts to demonstrate our clients’ need for compensation for medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and additional related expenses.
