Bradenton Distracted Driving Accident Lawyers

With the constant technological advances and additions to vehicle features, it would seem that drivers are almost encouraged to be distracted while on the road. From the radio to voice-texting to making and receiving phone calls, nearly anything can pull a driver’s attention from the task at hand.

Since 1989, the law firm of Legler Murphy & Battaglia, LLP, has guided Florida clients through personal injury claims after even the most serious accident. From cars to trucks to motorcycles, our attorneys are prepared to represent injured clients through every stage of the legal process.

What Are Distractions?

In general, a driving distraction is anything that impedes a driver’s ability. For example, distractions can be visual (taking your eyes off the road to read a text), manual (removing your hands from the steering wheel to eat a bite of sandwich) or cognitive (daydreaming and losing focus on the road around you). The most common examples of distractions are:

Texting
Talking on the phone
Talking to passengers
Eating
Personal grooming
Adjusting radio stations or mp3 files
Operating a navigation system menu
Reaching for objects in the back seat
Interacting with other drivers
Dressing
Applying makeup

Essentially, anything can be a distraction. It is imperative for drivers to remain attentive to the road and other vehicles around them. If you or a loved one was injured in an accident caused by a distracted driver, schedule a free consultation to discuss your distracted driving accident injuries.

Alyson Battaglia and her assistant were a privilege to work with after an auto accident with injuries. They helped me deal with the insurance company, and took a lot of the stress away while I was recovering. Any documents, or bills that came up I could forward to them and they would answer my questions, and/or take action. All in all, they were very professional and trustworthy to work with in reaching a fair settlement. I would highly recommend Alyson Battaglia and this firm if you are looking for a strong injury attorney that has your best interests in mind. Ultimately, she made a difficult situation much easier to deal with in bringing to a successful conclusion. 10/10 A+
