Bagen](https://blog.bagenlaw.com/blog/author/steven-a-bagen) Jan 7, 2013 3:03:00 PM Distracted driving is not something confined to teens or truck drivers. Anyone can be distracted while behind the wheel, and this trend is leading to more and more deaths on the nation’s roadways. It would be nice to imagine that everyone who gets behind the wheel is paying attention to what they’re doing. After all, every time you get in a vehicle, you’re taking your life and the lives of other people in your hands. However, a quick glance at the statistics will show you that this is sadly not the case. The number of distracted driving related accidents continues to grow, despite awareness programs.

Bagen](https://blog.bagenlaw.com/blog/author/steven-a-bagen) Jun 8, 2011 8:31:00 AM We’ve all done it – been at a stoplight or in slow traffic and shot off a quick text or e-mail. It's multitasking at its most dangerous. In today's fast-paced world, it can feel all too convenient to perform secondary tasks while driving.  Whatever it is you’re doing while driving, you’re becoming dangerously distracted by the activity. In fact, in 2009, 5,474 people were killed in U.S. roadways and an estimated additional 448,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes that were reported to have involved distracted driving.

Bagen](https://blog.bagenlaw.com/blog/author/steven-a-bagen) Jun 1, 2011 10:00:00 AM When you’ve been seriously injured in an accident, it can be a scary time for you and your family. There are so many questions, not enough answers, and too little time to decide what to do next. One of the first steps to getting your life back is to know when to call in a personal injury attorney to assist you in your case. **You’ve been told by a doctor that you’re seriously injured.** If your injury has ultimately led you to the hospital and a medical professional has deemed your injury serious, then it’s time to call a personal injury lawyer. Just because you may be covered by insurance, does not mean you should trust they have your family’s best interest at heart. If you are losing time from work and you can not get the recovery you deserve, then it is time to bring in a qualified personal injury attorney. An attorney will work with your insurance company and the other parties involved to ensure you have less to worry about as you recover from your traumatic injury.
