Cellphones have become a way of life for people throughout the country. However, using the phone while in a vehicle has become one of the leading causes of auto accidents. There is no question that distracted drivers are dangerous. If you have been hit by a distracted driver, you may have suffered debilitating injuries.

Despite laws in Connecticut that are designed to stop distracted driving and the use of cellphones in vehicles, the problem still exists and is entirely too common. Some drivers choose to split their focus between the road and something else, often their cellphone. The effect on their ability to drive safely is similar to drunk driving and often leads to a violent crash.

We also handle fatal accident situations, where a distracted driver’s negligence has caused the wrongful death of another driver and/or passengers.
