Options for Distracted Driving Accident Victims
Following distracted driving accidents, victims have options. In many instances, victims and their families can file a personal injury lawsuit against the distracted driver. Filing an injury claim allows victims to hold the distracted driver who caused their accident and injuries accountable, including recovering compensation for their hospital bills, loss of income (if their injuries prevent them from working), and future medical expenses (if they suffered a long-term or permanent injury). In some cases, victims can also recover compensation for pain and suffering.
