Cleveland Distracted Driving Accident Lawyers
Distracted drivers are serious hazards. Not only are they failing to concentrate on their own driving, but they are also unable to monitor other drivers and avoid danger. It is no wonder that accidents caused by distracted drivers are increasing — cellphones, iPods and texting have added to distractions caused by adjusting the radio or turning to speak to a child in the rear seat.
Contact us for a free consultation if you have been injured or lost a loved one in a distracted driver accident.
Being distracted by a cellphone is no excuse for causing a car accident. All drivers have a responsibility to pay attention when operating a motor vehicle, and usually it is their insurance company that pays the bill up to their coverage limits. We help make sure that negligent drivers — and their insurance companies — take responsibility for injuries they have caused. —

At Spangenberg Shibley & Liber, we advocate for clients who were injured in car accidents caused by distracted driving. For more than 65 years, we have helped injured motorists obtain needed compensation, preparing each case as if going to trial. We have represented clients against the largest insurance companies in the United States. Because of our firm's vast experience in personal injury matters, we understand exactly how to prepare each case in pursuit of success.
Causes of Distracted Driving
We advocate for clients who suffered injury in car accidents caused by distracted drivers, including drivers who were:
- Texting while driving or using other electronic devices
- Reading
- Dialing phone numbers
- Talking with passengers
- Eating and drinking
- Grooming, shaving, applying makeup
- Changing the radio station
- Falling asleep
Proving that the other driver was inattentive can require investigation and consultation with experts. Our Cleveland law firm has the resources to determine whether the driver's cellphone was in use at the time of the crash. We also consult with accident reconstruction experts and other specialists when building cases for our injured clients. Because the insurance companies know that we will be thoroughly prepared, they are more likely to offer a fair settlement in hopes of averting a trial.

Free Consultation · Contingency Fees · Spanish and Ukrainian Interpreters
You won't know whether it is a good idea to file a lawsuit until you speak with an attorney. Our Ohio lawyers offer free, confidential consultations to determine whether you have a distracted driving case. We urge you to consult us as quickly as possible to be sure your claim is filed before the deadline expires.
Clients sometimes believe that they have a case, but mistakenly believe that they cannot afford a lawyer. Our law firm takes all injury cases on a contingency basis, and clients pay no attorneys' fees until they receive an award or settlement. In short, you can afford an attorney for a distracted driver claim, whatever your financial situation.
Remember, if you have a claim, there is most likely a statute of limitations clock running, after which you won't have the right to file a lawsuit. Protect your rights by contacting us today or calling us at (888) 633-0360.
