In areas like Davenport, there is a tremendous amount of traffic due to the well-known highway I-4, which leads to some of Florida’s biggest tourist attractions and is also one of the most dangerous highways due to its high volume of travelers.

What Is Distracted Driving?
There are countless ways someone can drive distracted, one of the most popular being texting and driving. However, there are three main categories of distracted driving which include taking your eyes off of the road, taking your hands off of the wheel, and taking your mind off of the road. A few specific examples include changing the radio station, reaching for something in your passenger or back seat, eating or drinking, talking on the phone (even hands-free this can distract your mind), attending to your children, and more.
Drivers can be pulled over for distracted driving, but too often they aren’t caught and accidents occur.
You Deserve Compensation!
If you were injured by a distracted driver, you deserve to be compensated. Depending on the injuries sustained, you can find yourself facing thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills for things like hospital stays, medication, surgery, check-ups, x-rays, scans, copays, deductibles, and more. It isn’t fair for you to suffer physically and financially from an accident that you didn’t cause. While your personal injury protection insurance (required for all Florida drivers) might cover some of your expenses, they won’t cover them all and you shouldn’t have to pay out of pocket for any of these expenses that were a result of an accident you didn’t cause.
The Davenport distracted driving accident injury lawyers at The Florida Law Group have extensive experience standing up for victims of distracted driving accidents. They’re familiar with Florida’s personal injury laws, and the tactics that insurance companies will use to deny or devalue your injury claims. We will fight aggressively to protect your rights and secure compensation that is worth your injuries.
