Seek Compensation After a Distracted Driving Accident in Tulsa

Distracted driving is a serious issue, causing countless accidents and injuries every year. At Brewster & De Angelis, our Tulsa distracted driving accident attorneys are dedicated to helping victims seek justice and recover the compensation they deserve.

What is Distracted Driving?

In Oklahoma, distracted driving is defined as any activity that diverts attention from driving.

Distractions can be categorized into three main types:

Visual Distractions: Taking your eyes off the road, even for a moment, can lead to accidents. This includes activities like texting, looking at GPS devices, or reading.
Manual Distractions: Any activity that takes your hands off the steering wheel is a manual distraction. This may include eating, adjusting the radio, or reaching for items within the vehicle.
Cognitive Distractions: When a driver's mind is not focused on driving, it can lead to cognitive distractions. Daydreaming, talking on the phone, or engaging in deep conversations can fall into this category.

These actions can divert a driver's attention and lead to serious accidents.

Oklahoma's Distracted Driving Laws

Oklahoma law prohibits drivers from using a handheld electronic device to compose, send, or read electronic text messages while driving. Violation of this law can result in fines and points on your driver's license.

What Are Common Distracted Driving Injuries?

Distracted driving poses serious risks on the road, leading to a range of injuries that can significantly impact victims' lives. At Brewster & De Angelis in Tulsa, Oklahoma, our attorneys are well-versed in the aftermath of distracted driving accidents and are dedicated to helping victims pursue compensation for their injuries.

Whiplash and Neck Injuries: The sudden impact from distracted driving accidents can cause rapid back-and-forth movement, resulting in whiplash and neck injuries. These injuries can lead to pain, stiffness, and long-term discomfort.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Head injuries are common in car accidents, and distracted driving incidents are no exception. Traumatic brain injuries, ranging from concussions to severe trauma, can have lasting effects on cognitive functions and overall well-being.
Spinal Cord Injuries: Severe accidents may cause damage to the spinal cord, leading to paralysis or loss of motor function. These life-altering injuries often require extensive medical care and rehabilitation.
Broken Bones and Fractures: The impact of a distracted driving collision can result in broken bones and fractures. Victims may suffer injuries to limbs, ribs, or other areas, requiring immediate medical attention and lengthy recovery periods.
Soft Tissue Injuries: Soft tissues, including muscles, ligaments, and tendons, can be strained or torn during an accident. These injuries may not be immediately apparent but can cause ongoing pain and limitations in mobility.
Psychological Trauma: Distracted driving accidents can leave victims with emotional and psychological trauma, such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Addressing these aspects of recovery is crucial for overall well-being.
Internal Injuries: The force of a collision may cause internal injuries, including damage to organs such as the liver, spleen, or lungs. Internal injuries may not be evident immediately, emphasizing the importance of thorough medical examinations.

Truck Accident- Negligence $6.0 Million Settlement
Our client’s husband was traveling on the highway and was unable to see the utility pole. He clipped the utility pole causing him to lose control of his vehicle. He impacted the gasoline pump at a convenience store and was doused with gasoline which explosively ignited. He survived three months in intensive care before finally succumbing to his injuries.
Industrial Accident- Negligence Confidential Settlement
Our client was a loaned servant to a Chemical Refinery Company. He suffered serious and disfiguring thermal and chemical burns to his face and throat requiring an extensive hospital stay and numerous life-saving and reconstructive surgeries.
Workplace Safety- Negligence Confidential Settlement
Our client was digging a trench at a construction site. Another contractor had installed a water line but had failed to adequately secure the line and had pressurized despite that the construction project was incomplete and the water line was not properly secured. This resulted in a large section of PVC piping being shot like a missile into the knee of our client.
Unsafe Conditions- Premises Liability Confidential Settlement
Our client was an exercise jockey at a horse racing facility. During a training exercise, our client was thrown off his horse and suffered spinal fractures leading to paralysis. The cause of the accident was directly related to the unsafe conditions which had been ignored.
