Distracted Driving (Including Handheld Cell Phone Use) Is Irresponsible & Illegal
Similar to speeding, running a red light or stop sign, and driving under the influence (DUI), inattentive driving is illegal in Colorado. This can play a role in your ability to recover compensation, as it clearly points to the issue of fault when pursuing damages. If the distracted driver who hit you or your loved one was cited for a traffic violation, his or her traffic ticket could help with establishing your claim for just compensation—along with the police report, testimony from the officer who conducted the traffic stop and any witnesses, and any other evidence that is available.
Even so, the insurance company is not going to just hand over the check you deserve. Proving distracted driving is a key step toward recovering just compensation for accident victims’ and family members’ medical bills, lost earnings, and other losses—and this requires experienced legal representation.
That’s where Grand Junction distracted driving accident lawyer, Chadwick McGrady, comes in. He has extensive experience pursuing damages for the injured and has obtained tens of millions of dollars in damages for deserving folks like you. He is not afraid to sue a distracted driver on your behalf.
He knows what it takes to hold insurance companies and distracted drivers accountable, including those distracted by:
- Cellphones
- Texting
- Sending emails
- Eating
- Arguing
- Reading
- Drinking
Importantly, while convictions for traffic offenses can lead to points on a person’s driving record, loss of driving privileges (license suspension), fines, jail time, and additional penalties, they do not result in compensation for victims and their families. To seek compensation, victims or their loved ones must file a personal injury claim. This means dealing with the insurance companies in most cases, though going to court will be necessary in some circumstances. Regardless of what it takes to seek the compensation you deserve, it will be important to have an experienced lawyer on your side who has your best interests in mind.
