How Were You Injured?

Distracted driving is doing anything that takes a driver’s attention off the road. 

A few examples of this include:

• Texting behind the wheel
• Talking on a cellphone, even when it’s hands-free
• Using social media
• Taking photos
• Eating or drinking
• Attending to children or pets
• Changing the radio station
• Using GPS

Establishing the distraction that caused your accident is one of the first things that we will do. To accomplish this, we often use things such as police reports and witness statements. We will investigate the cause of your accident as soon as possible so we secure this information.

Building & Trying Your Case

As we investigate your case, we will collect police reports, witness statements and medical records to prove that texting was the cause of the accident. This is important evidence to support your case, and we know how to get it.

We may also work with experts in other fields such as accident reconstruction, engineering, medicine and life-care planning when that is appropriate. Because we try many of our cases, we are very thorough in building a strong case supported by convincing evidence.

The Consequences of Distracted Driving Accidents

When a driver has their mind on something else and/or their hands off the wheel, serious accidents often occur. Distracted driving can lead to speeding, swerving into another lane, running another vehicle off the road, colliding with the rear end of a vehicle, missing traffic lights and stop signs, and failing to see pedestrians.

Any of these causes can lead to catastrophic injuries or wrongful death. No matter how bad the accident was, you can rely on us to determine the cause, gather evidence, and create an aggressive case strategy. Unlike many other firms, we don’t just take the first settlement offer; instead, we often take cases to trial to seek the results our clients need.

We offer no-cost consultations to all prospective clients, so just call us at (605) 250-3209 or send us an email to get started. We represent people from South Dakota and northern Iowa.
