Texting While Driving Accident
The dangers of texting while driving are as well known as the dangers of drunk driving, but that doesn’t stop irresponsible drivers from putting your life at risk. Texting while driving is especially dangerous to motorcyclists, who are not protected by airbags and seatbelts like drivers in other vehicles. Statistics show that nearly 20% of distracted-driving crashes were caused by a driver who was texting at the time.
Compensation for Texting While Driving Accident
If you or a loved one was injured in an accident where the other party was texting while driving, you might be entitled to crash compensation. If it is proven that the other driver was negligible, you might receive compensation for:
- Medical costs, including cosmetic surgery
- Lost wages
- Continuing medical care
- Repair or replacement of damaged vehicle
- Pain and suffering
The best way to find out your chances of receiving compensation is through a motorcycle accident lawyer like Ray King in Austin, Texas. An attorney can help you achieve a positive outcome in your motorcycle accident case.
Wrongful Death–Texting While Driving
Perhaps your loved one died as a result of someone who was texting while driving. You might be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death case. Just as with reckless driving, speeding, and running a red light, if you can prove the other driver to be negligent, you might be entitled to compensation for the loss of income and companionship you experienced when your loved one died.
