Philadelphia Distracted Driving Accident Attorney
Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of serious car accidents in Philadelphia and across the country. Every year, thousands of injuries and fatalities occur because drivers take their eyes off the road — even for a few seconds. When a moment of inattention leads to tragedy, victims deserve justice.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Philadelphia distracted driving accident attorneys fight for victims injured by negligent drivers. Whether the distraction was caused by texting, talking on the phone, eating, or adjusting navigation, we work tirelessly to prove fault and recover full compensation for your injuries.
The Dangers of Distracted Driving
Distracted driving isn’t just irresponsible — it’s deadly. Studies show that looking away from the road for even five seconds at 55 mph is like driving the length of a football field blindfolded.
In Philadelphia, common distractions behind the wheel include:
- Texting or using a cell phone
- Adjusting GPS or in-car entertainment systems
- Eating or drinking
- Talking to passengers
- Personal grooming
- Reaching for items inside the car
No matter the cause, distracted drivers put everyone on the road at risk.
Pennsylvania’s Distracted Driving Laws
Pennsylvania law prohibits drivers from texting or emailing while driving. Violators face fines and potential criminal penalties if their distraction causes a crash resulting in injury or death. However, proving distraction often requires strong evidence — something our attorneys know how to uncover.
We obtain:
- Phone and text records
- Traffic camera or dashcam footage
- Eyewitness statements
- Police reports
- Expert analysis of accident reconstruction
This detailed approach allows us to hold distracted drivers fully accountable.
Common Injuries in Distracted Driving Accidents
Because distracted driving often leads to rear-end or high-speed collisions, victims can suffer severe and lasting injuries, including:
- Whiplash and spinal injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal injuries or bleeding
- Lacerations and contusions
- Emotional trauma and PTSD
At Wilk Law Firm, we ensure your medical treatment, pain, and long-term losses are fully reflected in your claim.
Compensation Available to Victims
If you were injured in a distracted driving crash, you may be entitled to recover damages for:
- Medical bills and ongoing care
- Lost wages and loss of future income
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Emotional distress
- Wrongful death damages (for families who’ve lost a loved one)
We pursue every avenue for recovery to secure the maximum possible compensation.
