Distracted Drivers & Car Accidents in Sonoma County

Petaluma Car Accident Attorney

Were you recently involved in a car accident with a distracted driver? A driver who does not have his or her full attention on the road while driving places him or herself and everyone else on the road at risk. Driving requires one’s undivided attention. Even a small distraction or taking one’s eyes off the road for a moment may cause a collision to occur. At the Law Offices of David R. Silva, we represent victims of distracted driver accidents throughout Sonoma County. We understand that these accidents could have easily been prevented if the other driver had been acting cautiously, and we know the frustration this knowledge may bring. To find out more about your legal rights and options in seeking justice against the driver responsible for your collision, contact a Petaluma personal injury lawyer at our offices. Your initial consultation is free and entirely confidential. This will be your opportunity to find out more about your legal rights and options.

Texting While Driving

Although there are many new laws to prevent drivers from using their phones while driving, many drivers disregard these laws and continue to talk, text, or browse the internet while driving . When a driver is not paying attention to the road, pedestrians, bicyclists and other drivers, he or she will be more prone to involvement in an accident, whether this is one of his or her own causing. A distracted driver may also have insufficient time to react to a hazard, a change in traffic or an accident that has already occurred. Taking one’s eyes off the road or hands off the steering wheel for even a split second may make all the difference.
