Cell phones, podcasts and playlists, billboards everywhere, or being so busy you have to eat your meals on your commute—distractions are everywhere for North Carolina drivers. Just a few seconds of inattention, though, can cause a deadly car collision. Many normal behind-the-wheel distractions are actually illegal, including manually using your cell phone and taking your hands off the wheel to eat, use your phone, or put on makeup. If you have been hit by a distracted driver, you may be eligible for a large settlement. Our Charlotte, NC distracted driving lawyer can help you get it.

Distracted Driving Lawyer Charlotte, NC
Did you know that in just 5 seconds, a driver going 55mph can travel the length of a football field? That’s a lot of distance, potentially passing dozens of cars, to cover. Now imagine that the driver wasn’t looking at the road the whole time. The five seconds it takes to glance at a text you were sent or scroll through your playlist can be the five seconds that make a difference in causing a deadly accident.
Distracted driving accidents can cause grievous injuries for the victims, rendering them permanently disabled, unable to work, or requiring painful, extensive medical procedures. As the injured victim, you have the right to demand fair compensation from the at-fault distracted driver for all your medical bills, lost wages from the time you missed at work, and any other losses, including pain and suffering. We believe that you shouldn’t have to pay for injuries a distracted driver causes.
Our Charlotte car accident lawyer protects you after you’ve been hurt in a car wreck. We investigate the accident and collect evidence proving that the driver was distracted (such as their phone records or witness testimony) and their negligence caused the wreck. We protect your interests and advocate for you in court and in settlement negotiations, with a goal of securing a top-dollar settlement.
