Being distracted while driving is one of the top causes of car accidents. Cellphones can prove to be extremely dangerous distractions to drivers, especially when they are used for texting. The result is often an accident that leaves someone seriously injured or killed. The car accident lawyers at Smith & Hassler hold texting drivers accountable for the injuries they cause.

The distractions that cellphones provide – especially texting – can be extremely dangerous. Studies have found that texting while driving increases the risk of this type of car accident. That’s why it’s against the law in Texas and in other states, but some people still drive while texting, putting the lives of others at risk.

Car accident lawyers with a long record of results

If you were hurt by a texting driver, you can suffer serious injuries. You many need diagnostic tests, hospitalization, medication, physical therapy, and multiple follow-up visits with doctors. Recovery may take months or even longer and you may not be able to work. Some people are left with a permanent disability.

"I was struck on my passenger side by a distracted driver trying to make an unsafe lane change. I won’t go in to anymore details, I just knew that I didn’t know what I was going to do from that moment on. My attorney Mr. Daragh Carter fought hard for me during the whole process, and stayed in constant communication with me, via email and phone. He was always available to take my calls and answer any of my questions. He had my absolute trust the entire time, and I knew he was going to give this case his all, and he did just that. Of course prior to all of this, I did my research on Mr. Carter, and I was instantly impressed to see that he’s been one of the top rated personal injury attorneys in Houston, and I knew he was who I wanted to fight not only for me, but with me. He definitely deserves to be in that class of top rated lawyers, because he is a rock star! Thank you to everyone at Smith and Hassler for everything, but most importantly, thank you, Daragh!!! I will forever be grateful for you! I will without a doubt recommend you to anyone and everyone that I know and won’t think twice about it. Thank you times a million!!!" — Ashley
