Distracted driving – When a driver’s attention is focused on texting, talking on a cell phone, following GPS directions, adjusting the radio etc., and their eyes are off the road (even for a couple of seconds), they are distracted, and this often results in serious car wrecks. If you are the victim of a car collision due to the distracted driving of the other party, you can file an auto accident lawsuit against them.

Reckless driving – Overly aggressive driving or reckless driving is the cause of many auto accidents. If a driver speeds, tailgates or makes sudden turns or lane changes without looking, they pose a threat to other drivers and passengers. If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury or vehicle damage due to the negligent or reckless driving of another driver, consult with Attorney Michael P. D’Amico of D’Amico Law, LLC.

Drunk drivers pose a serious threat to everyone on the road. If you are a loved one is the victim of a car crash and the other driver is given a DUI, the potential for compensation is even higher than in a standard car accident.
