Berks County Distracted Driving Accident Attorney
Distracted driving is one of the most dangerous causes of car crashes in Berks County and throughout Pennsylvania. Every year, hundreds of accidents occur because drivers take their eyes off the road — whether to send a text, check GPS directions, or grab something from the passenger seat.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Berks County distracted driving accident attorneys are committed to holding negligent drivers accountable. If you or a loved one was injured because someone else wasn’t paying attention, we will help you recover the compensation you need for medical bills, lost wages, and long-term recovery.
What Is Distracted Driving?
Distracted driving occurs when a driver’s attention is diverted from the primary task of safely operating a vehicle. There are three main types of distraction:
- Visual – taking your eyes off the road
- Manual – taking your hands off the wheel
- Cognitive – taking your mind off driving
Common forms of distraction in Berks County include:
- Texting or scrolling on a phone
- Talking to passengers
- Adjusting navigation or audio systems
- Eating or drinking while driving
- Personal grooming or reaching for items
Even a few seconds of distraction can cause a serious, life-changing crash.
Distracted Driving Laws in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania law prohibits drivers from using any interactive wireless communication device to send, read, or write text messages while driving. While this law is an important step in promoting safety, proving that a driver was distracted can still be difficult.
At Wilk Law Firm, our attorneys know how to gather the evidence necessary to prove fault, including:
- Cell phone and text message records
- Surveillance and dashcam footage
- Police and witness reports
- Vehicle black box data
- Accident reconstruction analysis
Our team will build a strong case to show that distraction directly caused your injuries.
Injuries Caused by Distracted Driving Accidents
Distracted driving accidents can lead to devastating injuries that impact every aspect of your life. Victims often suffer from:
- Whiplash and neck injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal bleeding or organ injuries
- Severe bruises, burns, or lacerations
We work closely with medical experts to assess the full extent of your injuries and fight for the compensation you deserve.
