Despite laws being continually reviewed, updated and passed through our court system to help deter motorists from sending text messages, reading emails while driving, or talking on the phone, drivers that do not pay attention when they are on the road continues to be a very serious problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently released reports from the National Safety Council have shown that over 860 people were killed on the roads in Alabama, while nationwide, over 990 deaths were associated with distracted driver accidents (where drivers were distracted when behind the wheel before the collision). Furthermore, cellphones accounted for 18% of all distraction-related deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to a distracted driver, it is very important that you take appropriate action to help protect your right to compensation. The first step you can take is to contact an experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/practice-area\/mobile\/car-accident-lawyers\/\" data-type=\"pmp_practice_area\" data-id=\"20525\">Mobile car accident lawyer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Citrin Law firm, we service Baldwin &amp; Mobile county, and take pride in our ability to <a title=\"Verdicts and Settlements\" href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/results\/\">recover compensation<\/a> for those who have fallen victim to personal injuries that have been caused by someone else&#8217;s negligent driving. We strongly feel that justice must be served when a driver fails to exercise proper caution while driving, and we can help you to fight for the maximum compensation benefits that you may be entitled to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To find out more, please fill out the form to the right &#8211; your first case review is FREE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mobile &amp; Baldwin Distracted Motorist Injury Claims<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An important factor to consider, is that insurance companies do not like to pay out full compensation, and they often move quickly to make an offer to an injured individual. After a collision, a victim should NEVER speak to an insurance adjuster without first having competent legal representation. These adjusters generally have years of experience in dealing with these types of situations, and are trained to ask specific questions in a certain manner in order to get answers that can be used to against you &#8211; which ultimately, can reduce your final settlement amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The insurance company of the driver is NOT YOUR FRIEND. Their job is to represent the person responsible for the collision, not you. However, to help even the playing field, the experienced car accident lawyers at Citrin Law Firm&nbsp;are aware of the tactics insurance companies use, and we are here to not only protect your rights, but to also make sure that your case is carefully managed so that you are not taken advantage of. Justice can be served with the assistance of a car accident injury lawyer who will fight for fair treatment and that is where we can help you the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you may have already imagined, the type of injury sustained in personal injury cases often has a large impact on what damages are sought by the auto collision lawyers here at Citrin Law. Our attorneys have the knowledge, experience and determination to fight for &#8211; and recover &#8211; the greatest amount of compensation in these types of cases. We believe that a car accident victim should not have to suffer financial stress from an accident caused by an irresponsible driver, and immediate action will be taken by our attorney to protect your rights, so that a settlement can be reached that is appropriate for your injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you or a loved one has been the victim of an injury caused by a distracted driver, <a title=\"Contact Us\" href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/contact-us\/\">contact an experienced lawyer<\/a> today &#8211; we are here to help and will fight for your rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a free case review, simply fill out the form to the right for immediate assistance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Injuries from distracted driver accidents (from texting, on the phone or similar) can be life-changing if you are not at fault.
