Protecting the Interests of Injury Victims
Lafayette Distracted Driver Accident Lawyers
In August of 2010, it became illegal for any driver to text while driving. In addition, the use of any wireless device was banned completely for drivers under the age of 18. Yet, accidents caused by drivers distracted by cell phones continue to occur with alarming frequency. Not only do drivers who use cell phones and other devices while driving have to answer to the law, they must also answer to their victims.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident involving a driver who was using a cell phone or texting rather than paying attention to the road ahead, you have the right to seek damages for the harm that has come to you. These can be extremely complex cases, and it is critical that you contact an attorney who will give you the best chance of winning.
For more than 20 years, Gordon McKernan and the Lafayette texting and cell phone use accident attorneys at the McKernan Law Firm have been protecting the rights of injury victims from Lake Charles to Baton Rouge and across the state of Louisiana. We have extensive experience with these cases, and we know what it takes to help you secure the compensation you deserve.
How Distracted Drivers Cause Serious Injuries
When drivers are going full speed down the road and look away to dial the phone or type a text message, it can be nearly impossible to avoid a serious accident if traffic suddenly stops. By looking down at the phone, drivers don't see the brake lights ahead and will have much less time to stop when or if they look up before crashing into the car ahead.
When you hire our firm, we will fully investigate every aspect of your case in an effort to build the strongest possible case on your behalf. We review any police reports, witness statements, photographic evidence and any other documentation that could provide information that could be important to your case. We bring in accident reconstructionists, subpoena cell phone records and pursue any other options that could strengthen our position and give you a better chance of success.
