Distracted Driving Accidents Attorneys
in Altoona, Pennsylvania
We’ve long known that reckless and intoxicated drivers are a serious hazard to both themselves and others around them, but another group has quickly joined them as one of the leading causes of car accidents on the road: distracted drivers. It only takes just a mere moment for conditions on the road to change, and a driver who is not fully aware and focusing on the road ahead of them may not be able to react in time, resulting in a potentially serious accident.
If you have been injured in an accident and you believe a driving distraction may have been involved, you should discuss your case further with an Altoona car accident attorney. Drivers are required to remain focused on the road in front of them, and a distraction can cause them to make a major mistake, which would result in them being held liable for the accident.

We recognize the importance of fighting for justice, and we provide high-quality legal representation through every step of the process.
