Texting While Driving Accident?
Car Accident Lawyers Serving Rockland County, NY and Bergen County, NJ
The personal injury attorneys at KGG have represented accident victims for decades. If you have been injured in a texting while driving accident, it is important to speak with one of our experienced attorneys as soon as possible. We have recovered millions of dollars for accident victims in verdicts and settlements; let us work to get you the compensation you deserve as well.
Cellphone technology continues to become more advanced and more people become connected through smartphones and social media. As a result, distracted driver accidents have become a nationwide epidemic, and texting while driving is a common cause of distraction. Studies have shown that people who text while driving have the same level of impairment as drivers under the influence of alcohol who cause DWI accidents.
Do I Need a Lawyer for Car Accidents Involving Texting?
Whether it is only for a second or for longer, any lapse in attention can be enough to result in a serious accident. Texting while driving is not the only cellphone activity that has started to contribute to accidents in New York and New Jersey. Other activities such as checking e-mail, posting on Facebook and other social networking sites, or even watching YouTube clips all take a driver’s eyes and attention away from the road. Distracted driving can kill and car accidents while texting are on the rise.
Texting car accidents can result in serious spinal cord injury, head injury and traumatic brain injury. Injury victims deserve to recover compensation for their medical bills, lost wages and vehicle damage. At our firm, initial consultations on personal injury matters are always free. If we decide to accept your car wreck case, we will do so on a contingency basis so that we get paid only if and when we collect for you.
What Happens After Texting and Driving Accidents?
Contact our personal injury lawyers for a free initial consultation toll-free at (866) 971-0927. If you need an evening appointment or you are injured and need us to come to you, we can accommodate you. Our law firm has an office in Chestnut Ridge to offer assistance in Rockland County and has an office in Montvale to help in Bergen County.

KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.Posted on Google

Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.Posted on Google

Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommendPosted on Google

We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
