Texting while driving is a dangerous behavior. A driver who texted and caused your accident may owe you compensation.
A Port St. Lucie car accident lawyer from the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine will advocate for you and pursue every dollar of compensation that you deserve.
A Motorist Who Texted While Driving May Be Liable For Your Losses
Texting while driving generally qualifies as negligence. Motorists have a responsibility, known as a duty of care, to act cautiously when driving their vehicle. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) explains that texting while driving is against the law due to the danger that it causes.
If a motorist was texting before or during your accident, they may be liable for your losses.
What Awards Can You Receive for a Texting While Driving Accident?
The awards that you are eligible for will depend on your accident-related losses. Our firm will review the harm that has come from your texting while driving accident.
One or more of the following losses may entitle you to a financial recovery:
- Healthcare expenses: Any medical costs stemming from your texting while driving accident may entitle you to coverage. Emergency care, hospitalization, medications, surgery, and rehabilitation may be among your recoverable losses.
- Damage to your vehicle: Liable parties may pay to repair or replace your vehicle, depending on the extent of property damage.
- Professional losses: Lost wages, productivity, retirement benefits, bonuses, and earning power may all entitle you to compensation.
- Pain and suffering: Injury-related pain, psychological conditions, and traumatic memories may all qualify as pain and suffering. This category of non-economic losses is a common feature of personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits.
- Any other losses from your accident: A lawyer from our firm will speak with you, your doctors, and other informed parties to identify all of your losses.
If a texting while driving accident caused your loved one’s passing, you may deserve additional compensation. Funeral expenses, lost financial support, and lost companionship may all be recoverable losses in a wrongful death case.
