California Texting While Driving Accident Lawyer

Texting while driving is all too common on California’s roads and highways. Sadly, distracted driving accidents can lead to serious injuries and even death. If you or a loved one have been involved in such an accident, you can contact a car accident attorney to find out if you’re entitled to compensation for your injuries and losses. 

A California personal injury lawyer from Triumph Law can determine if you’re eligible to file a claim. If they decide to take on your case, they’ll pursue the damages you need to cover your medical bills and deal with the other effects of the collision.

How a California Texting While Driving Accident Attorney Can Help You

When you work with an attorney from our firm, their main goal will be holding the at-fault driver liable for the losses and pain they’ve caused you. To do so, your lawyer will provide a number of different helpful services, such as:

Calculating Your Losses

To get you the money you need to move past your injuries, your attorney will first have to determine how much you’re owed. They’ll use your medical records, car repair bills, and other financial documents to calculate your losses.

When it comes to accident-related challenges like pain, emotional distress, and decreased quality of life, a texting while driving accident lawyer from California can use special formulas to figure out how much compensation you deserve.

Proving Liability

To get you the damages you need to rebuild your life, your attorney must prove the following:

• The driver was texting at the time of the crash
• The distracted driver caused the crash
• The crash caused your injury
• You endured financial losses as a result

To prove that the offending driver was using their cell phone at the time of the collision, your lawyer can request access to their phone records. Your texting while driving attorney can also gather footage from nearby traffic cameras and testimony from eyewitnesses to prove that texting while driving caused the crash.

Once your attorney has collected enough evidence to prove that the driver was negligent, they’ll still need to show that the driver’s actions caused your injury and monetary losses. To do that, your lawyer will need copies of your medical records, treatment bills, and any other invoices or documents related to your financial losses.

Pursuing Maximum Compensation

Once a texting while driving accident attorney from California has calculated your losses and found the evidence they need to hold the at-fault driver accountable, they’ll demand that you receive ample compensation. You could receive damages from an insurance settlement or court verdict, depending on your case.

If you take the insurance claim route, your attorney will meet with representatives from the other driver’s insurance company and negotiate with them to reach a fair settlement offer. IF insurers reject your claim or if your losses exceed the driver’s policy limit, you’ll have to file a lawsuit.

Filing a civil suit might sound intimidating, but our attorneys are up to the task. They’ve delivered impressive settlements and verdicts for many past clients. They’ll demonstrate the same attention to detail and thoroughness during your trial as they do for every case they take on.

How Much Compensation You Could Receive With the Help of a Lawyer

While we can’t tell you how much compensation you could receive from a claim or lawsuit until we’ve had the chance to calculate your damages, we can inform you about the losses you could receive compensation for. 

If we win your case, you could receive compensation for:

• Medical bills
• Future medical care costs
• Out-of-pocket medical costs 
• Vehicle repair expenses
• Lost wages
• Decreased earning ability
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Reduced quality of life

Whether you pursue an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit, our California texting while driving lawyers will do everything in their power to obtain the financial support you need to treat your injuries, support yourself financially, and deal with the emotional and physical pain you’re experiencing.

Other Distracted Driving Accidents We Can File a Claim for

Unfortunately, texting while driving accidents aren’t the only types of collisions you can suffer severe injuries from. In fact, there are a number of other distracted driving accidents that can cause devastating vehicle damage and injuries.

In addition to helping you recover from a texting while driving accident, our California attorneys can also offer legal assistance after crashes caused by:

• Eating or drinking while driving
• Talking to passengers
• Using GPS
• Adjusting the radio
• Reaching for an object in the car
• Daydreaming
• Looking at an event or accident on the side of the road

Don’t Wait to Hire a Texting and Driving Lawyer

If you’re taking time off work to attend doctor’s appointments, rest, and recuperate from your injuries, you might decide to put off hiring a car accident lawyer. We urge you to avoid delaying legal action, as California has a statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits.

According to California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1, you have two years from the date of your collision to file a lawsuit. Failing to abide by this filing deadline could stop you from receiving compensation and force you to pay your medical bills and other expenses out-of-pocket.

Reach out to a skilled texting while driving attorney from our team in California today to ensure your lawsuit is filed promptly. They’ll answer any questions you have about the filing deadline and work hard to satisfy all the legal requirements that apply to your case.
