What Injuries Often Result From Distracted Driving Accidents?

These distractions can significantly impair a driver's ability to react to road hazards, increasing the risk of accidents. Injured victims of distracted driving accidents may suffer from a range of injuries:

  • Whiplash can result from the rapid back-and-forth movement of the head upon impact, leading to neck strain and discomfort.
  • Broken bones and fractures frequently occur, particularly in the limbs, pelvis, and ribs, due to the force of the collision. 
  • Traumatic brain injuries are also common, ranging from concussions to more severe forms, causing cognitive impairments, memory loss, and headaches. 
  • Soft tissue injuries, such as bruises, sprains, and strains, are prevalent as well.
  • Victims may experience emotional distress, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as they cope with the aftermath of the accident.

Distracted Driving FAQs

Will my case go to trial?

How long do I have to file a distracted driving accident claim in Little Rock, AR?

What if I had a prior injury to the same part of my body?

When will my case be resolved?

What if the other driver is uninsured?

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Arkansas follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning you may still recover compensation if you are less than 50% at fault. However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. We help evaluate fault allocation and protect your ability to recover damages.

Will my case go to trial?

Many distracted driving cases are resolved through settlement negotiations, but some do proceed to trial if a fair agreement cannot be reached. Our attorneys prepare every case thoroughly and are ready to advocate for you in court when necessary.

How long do I have to file a distracted driving accident claim in Little Rock, AR?

In Arkansas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of the accident. It is important to act promptly to preserve evidence and protect your right to pursue compensation.

What if I had a prior injury to the same part of my body?

You may still be able to recover compensation. If the accident worsened a pre-existing condition, you can seek damages for the additional harm caused. Our team works with medical professionals to clearly demonstrate how the accident impacted your condition.

When will my case be resolved?

The timeline depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, the complexity of the case, and the insurance company's response. Some cases settle in a matter of months, while others may take longer.

What if the other driver is uninsured?

If the at-fault driver is uninsured, you may still have options through your own uninsured motorist coverage, if available. The Law Offices of Miller & Mallett help clients explore all potential sources of compensation and navigate the claims process.
