West Virginia Reckless Driving Accidents
The likelihood of sharing the road with a careless driver is higher than ever. More people are using their phones while driving, which is causing major accidents that can change lives. You can travel the length of a football field as fast as it takes to send a text while driving on the highway. This should be a concern for anyone who drives during their day-to-day lives. Drivers in West Virginia are known for being careless behind the wheel. Many people in the state often drive while not fully paying attention, such as using their phones, talking to others in the car, or eating. If you or someone you know has been hurt by a careless driver, it’s important to speak with a good lawyer who can help you get the compensation you deserve.
