Multitasking

Since we spend so much time in our cars, many people perform multiple tasks in their cars while driving:

  • Texting
  • Talking on cell phones
  • Adjusting the radio
  • Taking care of children

Regardless of what the other driver was doing to be distracted while driving, that person is responsible for the injuries caused by the accident. At Doehrman Chamberlain, we can hold the other driver accountable and get you the compensation you need to get back on your feet.
