The purpose of our distracted driving accident blog is to provide injury victims and the general public with helpful information about issues related to distracted driving accidents affecting the people of Washington state and nationwide. At Davis Law Group, P.S., we believe in the power of educating people about their legal rights and helping them decide when it may be necessary to consult with an experienced attorney after being injured in a collison.
You will find detailed explanations of applicable laws in distracted driving cases, statistical analysis for various types of incidents we have experience with and even basic guidelines for understanding how negligence and liability are determined. Put simply, our goal is to educate the public about their legal rights after an accident and help them navigate the claims process. Blog articles should not be misconstrued as explicit legal advice. We encourage all readers to engage one another in the comments section of our blog.
