The importance of an attorney after an automobile accident

Miller & Steele helps accident victims receive the compensation they deserve. This compensation goes toward covering the financial damages that the victim suffered as the result of the accident. Medical costs, even with insurance, can be catastrophic. If an accident victim suffered severe injuries, not only will they have to deal with mounting medical bills and ongoing medical treatment, but they may also be unable to return to work, or they may not be able to perform the same duties at work that they were able to before the accident took place. This situation can quickly become overwhelming, with no income coming in and the added stress of trying to make ends meet.

Inattentive or Distracted Driving

There has been a dramatic increase in the number of accidents involving drivers distracted by their cell phones. But it doesn't stop there; any behavior that removes one's attention from driving can be considered "distracted." Common distractions while on the road include:


  • Talking to passengers
  • Attending to children
  • Reading
  • Eating or drinking
  • Changing the radio station
  • Daydreaming


The issue of distracted driving has been a hot topic in recent years. One reason it's difficult to determine whether or not someone was actually distracted while driving is because there are few ways to prove that the person wasn't really paying attention at all times.

Aggressive Driving

Aggressive driving is a serious issue that puts millions of Americans at risk. Some people mistakenly believe it only includes speeding, but the other dangerous habits that can be considered as aggressive driving include:


  • Frequently changing lanes
  • Reckless driving
  • Making a turn without signaling
  • Cutting other drivers off
  • Tailgating
  • Sudden braking
  • Swerving in and out of traffic


Aggressive driving can be a tragic occurrence for all parties involved, but if you are injured in an accident with another aggressive driver, don't panic! You may still have the right to bring a claim against them.

Intoxicated Driving

Since the legalization of recreational marijuana in California, drunk and drugged driving accidents have been on a rise. This is detrimental to not only drivers but also their passengers since these individuals are at risk for getting injured as well or worse yet dying from an intoxicated driver's negligence.

Fatigued Driving

Recent studies have shown that fatigued driving is more than just a nuisance. Most notably, drowsy drivers exhibit poor judgment and increased reaction time which can significantly impact the risk of accidents. This is why all drivers must be safe when they get behind the wheel: not only for themselves but also for those around them who may find themselves in an accident with negligent or reckless motorists due to their lackadaisical attitude on what could happen if they should ever enter one while tired.
