Personal Injury Lawyer Journal

As Arizona personal injury attorneys, we weren't surprised to learn about the results of a recent poll that showed that most drivers admit to driving while distracted. We see a lot of car accidents caused by these types of drivers. According to the Harris Interactive/HealthDay poll, which was included in a news report from Fox 10, a whopping 86 percent of adults admit to eating while driving and 37 percent admit to texting. We want to strongly discourage people from engaging in distractions while driving…it’s just too dangerous.

Car accidents are, unfortunately, a daily reality on our congested roads and highways. In the United States, someone is involved in a car accident approximately every five seconds, and more than 115 people per day are fatally injured in these crashes.

Because of the huge amounts of money involved in car accidents each year, those who are at fault or liable for the damages caused will go to great lengths to avoid paying these legitimate costs.
