Despite knowing the risks, many drivers continue to text and drive. Drivers who text while driving pose a tremendous danger to themselves and others on the road. As motorcycle accident attorneys who represent injured bikers, we come across accidents involving distracted drivers again and again. Texting while driving is not only dangerous- it’s deadly. And people who injured innocent motorists deserve to be held accountable.
For years, bikers have struggled to make drivers aware of inattentional blindness. Inattentional blindness, or the inability to notice motorcycles on the road, even when they see them in their field of view, results in thousands of crashes. But worse still is the lack of attention drivers pay when they text, answer phone calls, or otherwise play with their cell phones.
As motorcycle injury lawyers, we are here to help you seek justice. We help victims injured in accidents caused by texting and driving. Our lawyers use our expertise and experience to make sure justice is served.
How to Watch for Texting and Driving
Bikers need to be especially vigilant and alert on the roads today. Look out for vehicles that don’t maintain a proper speed or seem to have trouble staying in their lane.
Drivers who text while driving often fail to use turn signals and can miss important road signs. You may see them tilt their head down or to the side to gaze at their phone. These are signals that drivers are texting and you should be extremely careful around them.
In the blink an eye – or perhaps, in this case, the chirp of a cell phone – crashes can occur. The motorist is largely protected by their vehicle, but as a biker, you are exposed. You will be the one to face the pain, injuries, and damages incurred. But you don’t have to go it alone.
Distracted driving has become an epidemic in the United States. When a distracted driver gets behind the wheel, they endanger everyone on the road. In fact, hundreds of motorcycle accidents involving texting and driving happen each year. For these injured motorcycle riders, we believe that justice needs to be done.
Kass & Moses believes in fighting for justice, especially when bikers are injured by inattentive drivers. We will work to get you fair and just compensation not only for your medical bills but also for your lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. If you have been involved in a distracted driving accident, contact us today at 1-800-MOTORCYCLE.
Texting drivers and otherwise inattentive drivers are just as bad as reckless or intoxicated drivers. They are blatantly breaking the law and putting others at risk. And when crashes occur, we believe they must be held responsible. This begins with a phone call to Kass & Moses. We can be reached anytime, day or night.

If you have been in a motorcycle crash caused by someone who was texting and driving, you are likely in pain and anxious. Injuries from motorcycle crashes are notoriously heinous, and even with the best medical treatment, you could face years of pain and disability.
Fractures, severe road rash, torn ligaments, concussions, and soft tissue injuries are all very common in motorcycle crashes. These are all complex injuries that require competent medical care. This medical care is expensive, and in a matter of days, medical bills will begin to pile up. This only compounds the fact that money may be tight if you are unable to work while you recover.
