Distracted Driving Accidents Persist Despite Ban on Texting and Driving

We are accredited by the Illinois Bar Association and have advocated for numerous victims, or the family members of victims, involved in auto accidents.

Our accident attorneys have handled a multitude of auto accident cases, especially those that might have been the result of driver negligence. Consequently, our legal representation has rendered fair and just compensation for our clients. This year alone there have been about 700 fatal crashes in the state of Illinois. One of our nation’s most common causes of traffic fatalities is texting and driving, and this problem continues to persist throughout the nation, despite several states’ adoption of laws prohibiting the use of electronic devices while driving. Illinois is included amongst the list of states to adopt texting while driving legislation. Fortunately, this ban on texting and driving is said to have contributed to the noticeable decrease of accident fatalities. As noted by Senator Sandoval, Chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, "In 2010, Illinois experienced one of the fewest number of highway fatalities since 1921. Traffic safety statistics indicate that Illinois is moving in the right direction, the state has experienced two consecutive years with less than 1,000 traffic fatalities."

Although the reduction in accident fatalities is certainly promising, the reality is that a high volume of accidents continue to plague the roadways of Chicago, and Illinois in general. Far too many of these accident involve distractions, such as texting while driving, and therefore are preventable. As reported by Distracted Driving a website provided by the U.S. Department of Transportations, studies show that individuals who text while driving are twenty-three ore times likely to be involved in an accident.

If you have been a victim of a motor vehicle accident cause by a distracted driver’s use of electronic devices, our injury attorneys can provide free personal injury consultation, which can assist in postcrash determinations, and more importantly provide reassurance that a legal professional is dedicated to protecting your legal rights.

I have dealt with Sofia Zneimer since 2009. She is a great lawyer and has helped me tremendously in navigating the process of green card. She is a great resource to have by your side.
