Texting and Driving, Careless Driving, Inattentive Driving
Have you been injured in an auto accident that was caused by a careless or distracted driver? You are not alone. Most auto accidents are the result of driver negligence, including speeding, drunk driving or distracted driving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 16 percent of all fatal auto crashes and 21 percent of all auto crashes causing injury are the result of distracted driving, which may include:
- Texting
- Talking on a cell phone
- Applying makeup while driving
- Eating while driving
- Focusing on GPS devices or other electronic equipment
- Arguing with passengers

Located in Oklahoma City, we represent clients throughout Oklahoma in auto accident claims. We handle all motor vehicle accident claims, including car accidents, motorcycle accidents and commercial trucking accidents.
Preparation Is Key
You may think your case is a slam dunk. After all, the driver who struck your vehicle was clearly negligent in the operation of their vehicle. The police report makes it clear that the other driver was at fault.
Unfortunately, it is not that simple. The other driver may assert that they were driving safely, police reports are generally not admissible evidence as they are considered hearsay, and the witnesses who saw the accident may be nowhere to be found.
For these and other reasons, it is critical that you retain an experienced and dedicated personal injury attorney who will provide the quality legal representation you require. Our attorneys have the experience, resources and commitment to provide the vigorous representation you need. As your legal counsel, we will properly investigate the cause of your accident, gather evidence critical to establishing the liability of the other driver and properly calculate your damages to seek the full compensation you deserve.
