Chicago Distracted Driving Crashes
Few things are as dangerous as a distracted driver. Motor vehicles are large and capable of inflicting a significant amount of damage. This means that a car crash can cause serious injuries to those involved.
An astounding 1,000 people are injured each day by distracted drivers. In 2015, 4,000 people lost their lives in distracted driving collisions. Reckless drivers like these need to be held accountable for their actions.
