An Experienced Distracted Driving Accident Lawyer In Austin

Driving while distracted (DWD) is extremely common, even though it is quite similar to drunk driving. Distraction can impact reaction times or cause drivers to make clear mistakes, like running stop signs or red lights. A total of 3,308 people passed away in distracted driving accidents in 2022, and most distracted driving statistics are low because it’s difficult to prove. The actual accident and fatality toll is likely much higher.

At Breeland Injury Law, PLLC, attorney Matt Breeland offers the experienced legal guidance needed for those who have been injured or lost loved ones in these tragic accidents. An award-winning lawyer, he has been included on Super Lawyers and the Texas Super Lawyer Rising Stars list. Dedicated to his clients, he offers free initial consultations to injury victims in Austin, Texas.

Why To Contact A Distracted Driving Accident Lawyer

An attorney can help you seek the compensation you deserve after the crash. This could help with costs and damages, such as:

  • Immediate medical bills
  • Long-term health care needs and recurring medical costs
  • Lost wages
  • Long-term changes to earning capacity or a diminished earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment in life or loss of consortium if a loved one passed away

These are just a few potential costs to consider, and an experienced attorney can work to help you avoid overlooking anything.

Additionally, a car accident lawyer can help you gather evidence to show that the distracted driver was liable. Evidence in these cases can include electronic data, such as text messaging records or social media activity showing that the other driver was on their phone. It can also include medical records, video footage, witness statements, pictures from the scene, and police reports.

Mr. Breeland understands the complexities of personal injury law, and he can help you if you are considering a settlement from the insurance company or if you are considering litigation to hold the other driver personally responsible.
