Texting While Driving  Accident Lawyers

Our distracted driving attorneys can help

When individuals break the law and text while driving, they can cause the motorists around them injuries, from more minor cuts and scrapes and broken bones, to more serious injuries such as brain injuries. The car accident attorneys at Mani Ellis & Layne, PLLC help victims recover the compensation they deserve.

All drivers have a duty of care to the other motorists around them, and when they drive in a negligent, distracted manner and it results in injury to someone else, they can be held liable for damages. When drivers are texting, they take their eyes off of the road, their hands off of the wheel and their minds off of driving. The result is often an accident that leaves people hurt.

After being injured in a car accident caused by a texting driver in Charleston, WV or Columbus, OH, you may require surgery, hospitalization, doctor visits, physical therapy and medication. The expenses can add up quickly. And in the meantime, you may be unable to work because of your injuries.
