Hickory Texting While Driving Lawyer

Texting While Driving Attorney in Hickory, NC

North Carolina law makes it illegal to read or send text messages and email while driving. Unfortunately, according to the Centers for Disease Control, every day distracted driving kills more than 16 people and injures more than 1,300 people across the country. It’s a problem that should be addressed and not ignored.

At Law Office of Lyndon R. Helton, PLLC, we represent victims and families who have suffered because of another driver’s negligence. We’ve handled many distracted and drunk driving cases over the last two decades, and we have won fair compensation for clients throughout western North Carolina.

Drunk And Reckless Drivers Are Dangerous

Any car or motor vehicle accident has the potential for causing life-changing injuries. However, accidents involving drunk or distracted drivers are often worse. Drivers who are distracted or impaired have a tendency to swerve into other lanes and travel at accelerated speeds. This can cause a range of injuries, including:

• Broken bones
• Head and brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Loss of limb
• Other disabling conditions

Because North Carolina is a “contributory negligence” state, an insurance company may try to find a way to blame you for the accident. If they can prove you somehow share the blame for the crash, then they may deny you the compensation you need and deserve.
