Despite Illinois laws and having knowledge of the dangers of distracted driving, there are still too many motorists who engage in dangerous behaviors while behind the wheel. While texting or cell phone use gets much of the media attention, there are many other activities that can cause a driver to be sidetracked. When a person’s attention is not focused on operating the vehicle, serious distracted driving accidents can occur. Injured victims may endure severe pain and suffering, and many other types of losses.
You do have rights if you are hurt due to someone else’s distracted driving, and our attorneys at the Law Office of Brassfield & Krueger, Ltd. are dedicated to fighting for them. We can help you recover the highest compensation available by law, whether in negotiations with the responsible motorist’s insurance company or in court. Our lawyers have been representing accident victims in Winnebago County and throughout Northern Illinois for decades, and we are here to serve your needs.
