Truck drivers work long hours on the road. The temptation to multi-task or stave off boredom may lead some to use cellphones or other hand-held devices while on the road. The use of such devices can cause a driver to become distracted and may have disastrous consequences. At the law firm of Subin Associates, LLP, our New York truck driver negligence lawyers will fight to hold distracted truck drivers accountable for their irresponsible actions.
If you or a family member has been injured by a distracted truck driver, you should take action. Subin Associates, LLP, represents injured victims as well as those who have lost a loved one through wrongful death. We have extensive experience handling serious injury claims. Whether we are able to negotiate a settlement or take the case to trial, we will aggressively pursue your claim in a tireless effort to get results.
Fighting for Compensation for Serious Injuries
Although use of a hands-free cellphone is not illegal in New York, truck drivers have a duty to be aware of their surroundings. If using a hands-free cellphone makes a truck driver distracted and causes an accident, he or she may be negligent. In fact, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has found that drivers who use hand-held devices are four times more likely to be involved in a crash that results in a serious injury.
A serious injury may involve broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, back injuries, burn injuries, neck injuries and spinal cord injuries. Our dedicated Manhattan cellphone distraction attorneys will work with medical and financial experts to demonstrate your need for compensation for medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering and any additional related expenses.
We Will Hold All Responsible Parties Accountable
While individual truck drivers who act negligently are responsible for their actions, we will also work to hold all other responsible parties accountable for their actions. For example, if the use of a cellphone is forbidden under company policy, the driver's employer may be responsible as well. We will mount a thorough investigation into the circumstances of your accident in an effort to hold all parties accountable and maximize your compensation.
