The aftermath of a distracted driving crash is never simple. Victims are left facing painful injuries, medical bills, and uncertainty about the future.

From investigating the circumstances of the crash to presenting evidence in negotiations or court, we provide steady advocacy so clients can concentrate on healing.
The Serious Impact of Distracted Driving Accidents
When a driver is focused on something other than the road, collisions are often more severe and injuries more complex than in other crashes. Victims may require long-term treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing financial support. Some of the most frequent outcomes include:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries: Collisions caused by inattention can result in concussions, memory loss, and permanent cognitive impairment.
- Spinal Cord Trauma: High-impact crashes often lead to partial or complete paralysis, requiring extensive rehabilitation.
- Fractures and Orthopedic Injuries: Broken bones may demand surgeries, physical therapy, and months of recovery.
- Internal Organ Damage: Sudden force from a distracted driver can cause internal bleeding or damage to vital organs.
- Emotional Distress: Victims frequently face anxiety, depression, and the loss of enjoyment in daily life following the accident.
These consequences highlight the importance of pursuing a legal claim that addresses both immediate costs and long-term needs.

Determining Eligibility for a Distracted Driving Claim
Distracted driving accidents are not always obvious at first glance. Evidence often emerges through careful investigation, making it essential to speak with an attorney as soon as possible. Golden State Lawyers reviews each case thoroughly to confirm liability and identify all potential sources of compensation.
- The at-fault driver was cited for distracted driving at the scene
- Witnesses confirm the driver’s inattention before the crash
- Cell phone or vehicle records reveal activity at the time of the collision
