Error message
Every second a driver takes their eyes off the road, lives are at risk. Distracted driving is a leading cause of serious and fatal accidents across Alabama. At McArdle & Whitman, we stand up for those injured because someone chose to text, check their GPS, or let their attention wander behind the wheel. When careless behavior causes you harm, we’re here to hold the driver—and their insurance company—accountable.
Distracted driving involves any activity that diverts attention from driving. This can include:
Texting or using a smartphone
Eating and drinking
Adjusting music or navigation
Talking to passengers
Reaching for items
Grooming or personal care
Even just a few seconds of distraction can lead to devastating consequences, especially at highway speeds.
When drivers don’t give their full attention to the road, the impact on other motorists, passengers, and pedestrians can be catastrophic. Victims often suffer:
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Broken bones and fractures
Neck and spinal cord injuries
Internal bleeding and organ damage
Severe cuts, bruising, and scarring
Wrongful death
These injuries don’t just disrupt your health—they disrupt your life. We fight to ensure your legal rights are protected and your future is secure.
To win a distracted driving injury case, we work quickly to gather and preserve critical evidence such as:
Cell phone records
Surveillance footage
Eyewitness testimony
Police accident reports
Event data recorders (black box info)
We build strong cases with expert analysis to clearly demonstrate fault and maximize your compensation.
If you’ve been injured by a distracted driver, you may be entitled to damages including:
Medical bills (past and future)
Lost income and earning potential
Pain and suffering
Property damage
Loss of enjoyment of life
Wrongful death benefits (in fatal cases)
Our firm is relentless in seeking full and fair compensation for every client we represent.
