When a glance at a phone changes your life
A driver who looks away from the road for even a few seconds can cause a devastating crash. Phone records, witness testimony, and crash reconstruction can prove distraction — evidence we know how to find.
We investigate the crash, document your injuries, and deal with the insurance companies so you can focus on healing — and we prepare every case as if it is going to trial.
- Free, confidential case evaluation — you pay nothing unless we win
- Direct access to trial-tested attorneys, not a case number
- Meticulous preparation of every claim — medical records, experts, evidence
- Aggressive negotiation with insurers — and trial when they won't pay fairly
Forms of distraction we prove
Distraction is more than texting. We build cases around every form of driver inattention:
- Texting, scrolling, and app use
- Phone calls — even hands-free
- GPS and infotainment adjustment
- Eating, drinking, and grooming
- Reaching for objects in the vehicle
- Attending to passengers or pets
Proving the driver wasn’t looking
Texting while driving is a primary offense in Florida — police can stop a driver for it alone. In a civil claim, we go further: subpoenaed phone records, app usage logs, and vehicle telematics can establish exactly what a driver was doing at the moment of impact.
A driver traveling 55 mph who looks at a phone for five seconds crosses a football field blind. Juries understand this — and insurers know they understand it. Thorough proof of distraction significantly increases the value of your claim.
- Medical bills — past and future
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent injury and disability
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage and out-of-pocket costs
What to do after a distracted driving crash
- Get medical care — your health comes first, and prompt treatment also documents your injuries before insurers can claim a "gap in care."
- Report and document — file the police or incident report, photograph everything, and collect names of witnesses while memories are fresh.
- Say nothing to insurers — do not give recorded statements or accept early offers — adjusters use both to reduce what they pay you.
- Call Spinner Law Firm — a free, confidential consultation costs nothing, and you pay no fee unless we win. The earlier we start, the more evidence we can preserve.
