Since 1977, the Hometown Legal Team at The Downer Law Firm, P.A., has represented clients suffering a wide range of injuries in car accidents. Over time, we have met with more clients involved in distracted driving car accidents in Charlotte. This is because the advent of cellphones with texting capabilities and internet access has created hazards on North Carolina roads.
When you meet with us following a car accident, we show you the respect and appreciation you deserve. At our firm, you are a name, not a case number. If you have been injured by a distracted driver, a dedicated car accident attorney is here to fight for you, starting with a free, no-obligation consultation.
North Carolina has laws related to distracted driving, including that texting is not allowed. Sixteen- and 17-year-old drivers are limited in the number of passengers in their car and the times they can drive. Regardless of the laws, the issue in a personal injury claim is negligence when using a cellphone for any reason. Talking on the phone may seem harmless, but focus goes away from the road and onto a conversation. In one split second, the smallest distraction could result in a serious motor vehicle accident.
At The Downer Law Firm, P.A., we also represent area residents injured in truck accidents caused by drivers distracted by not only cellphone use, but also work laptop computers. Taking shortcuts in logging information or surfing the internet can have deadly consequences. Take action now to hold distracted drivers accountable for injuring you or killing a loved one.
While a text, call, or screen should never take priority over safe driving, justice doesn’t have to wait. Contact a trusted attorney after a distracted driver accident in Charlotte today. You can call 704-348-6700 or reach out online for personalized help.
