Gurnee Personal Injury Lawyers

Only 40 years ago, cell phone use was limited to very few individuals, and cell phone accidents in Chicago were unheard of. Today, millions of Americans own cell phones, many of them smartphones, and Gurnee cell phone accidents have become a common occurrence. Too often, drivers fail to put aside their cell phones while on the road, leading to distracted driving and deadly accidents that can have life-long effects for all involved.

Fox Lake Auto Accident Attorneys

According to the National Safety Council, 1.3 million crashes connected to cell phone use occurred in the United States in 2011. Reports from the NHTSA show that these crashes claimed the lives of nearly 1,000 people that year and cause many common auto accident injuries, as well. Many states have banned the use of hand-held devices while driving in efforts to lower fatality rates. However, researchers from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimate that 11 percent of all motorists nationwide are using a cell phone while driving at any given moment.

Auto accidents involving cell phones are just one type of accident that personal injury lawyers see. Others are as diverse as alcohol-related accidents, head-on accidents, rear-end accidents, pedestrian accidents, weather-related accidents, and accidents involving speeding, auto defects and road design defects.
