Delaware County Distracted Driving Accident Attorney

BACK TO ARTICLES

Our Delaware County distracted driving accident lawyers represent victims injured in crashes caused by texting or inattentive drivers.

Distracted driving has become one of the most dangerous causes of crashes in Delaware County. From busy roadways like I-476, Route 1, and Baltimore Pike to local streets in Media and Upper Darby, a moment of distraction can cause catastrophic injuries or even death.

At Wilk Law Firm, our Delaware County distracted driving accident attorneys are dedicated to helping victims and families rebuild their lives after these preventable crashes. We fight aggressively to hold negligent drivers accountable and to recover the compensation our clients deserve.

Understanding Distracted Driving

Distracted driving occurs anytime a driver’s attention drifts from the road. It can involve visual, manual, or cognitive distractions — and all are dangerous. Common examples include:

  • Texting or using a cell phone while driving
  • Adjusting navigation or entertainment systems
  • Talking with passengers
  • Eating, drinking, or grooming
  • Reaching for objects in the vehicle

Even a few seconds of distraction can turn an ordinary drive into a life-altering collision.

Distracted Driving Laws in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania prohibits drivers from sending, reading, or writing text messages while operating a motor vehicle. Despite these laws, distracted driving remains a leading cause of serious injury and fatal crashes throughout the state.

At Wilk Law Firm, we use every available resource to prove that distraction caused your accident, including:

  • Cell phone and text message records
  • Police crash reports and citations
  • Eyewitness testimony
  • Surveillance and dashcam footage
  • Accident reconstruction evidence

By combining technology and expert analysis, we uncover the truth — and use it to strengthen your case.

Common Injuries in Distracted Driving Accidents

Victims of distracted driving accidents often face severe, long-term injuries. Our firm has helped clients recover compensation for:

  • Neck and back injuries (whiplash)
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord damage and paralysis
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Internal injuries or organ damage
  • Psychological trauma, including anxiety and PTSD

These injuries can lead to lasting pain, medical expenses, and emotional distress — all of which deserve fair compensation.

If you were injured in a distracted driving accident, you may be entitled to financial recovery for:

  • Medical bills and rehabilitation costs

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life

  • Wrongful death damages (for surviving family members)
