Determining Negligence
A distracted driver lacks the ability to accurately identify and evade preventable collisions and road hazards. For example, checking a text message may only take a few seconds, but that is more than enough time for a driver to miss slowing vehicles, jaywalking pedestrians, merging traffic, and work zone warnings.
However distracted driving is not just limited to cell phone use. Other distracted driving behaviors include:
- Concentrating on a hands-free device
- Adjusting the radio
- Eating or drinking in the car
- Daydreaming
- Talking to passengers
- Checking a GPS device
- Fixing make-up
The outcome of your case depends on your legal representative proving that a negligent party partly or fully contributed to your injuries. By meticulously researching your case, we can pinpoint the negligent party and construct a litigation strategy that maximizes your claim.
The Insurance Company
Many accident survivors simply cannot afford the full extent of their existing and projected medical expenses. This is particularly true if their injuries also prevent them from returning to work. So, where can you turn if you cannot financially support your family or manage your medical debts? Even if you feel pressured by your injury-related expenses, it is important that you do not just accept an insurance company’s initial settlement offer. An insurance company adjuster’s sole aim is to limit your damages to save the company money. If you do not have a trustworthy legal representative by your side, the adjuster may try to convince you to settle on an inadequate amount. In a worst-case scenario, you may face severe financial hardships in the future and be forced to file for bankruptcy. At Marciano & MacAvoy, P.C., we can meticulously investigate your case and help you calculate the true cost of your injury. With this information, we can counter the insurance company’s initial settlement offer with an amount that truly reflects your financial needs. If necessary, we can even take your case to court to ensure that you’re awarded restitution that safeguards your standard of living.

In Pennsylvania, a plaintiff has 2 years to file a personal injury claim against a distracted driver. A plaintiff that is a minor has 2 years from their 18th birthday. While this may seem like a long time, it is critical that you retain qualified legal representation immediately after the accident. At Marciano & MacAvoy, P.C., our Philadelphia car accident lawyers can guide you through each step of this complex legal process and protect your claim from being undermined by crafty insurance company representatives.

"I have had the privilege of connecting with Kevin Marciano on many matters as an attorney. Additionally, I have referred his firm multiple people who were in need of his services. He has obtained great results for these referred individuals and through the entire process has been very accessible and calming."

"They are experts at what they do and will go to battle for their clients if that's what it takes to get the best outcome. If someone in my family was injured, this is the first place I would turn."

- Trish
"After been paralyzed from the neck down because of a drunk driver, Kevin Marciano was my last hope. Kevin fought very hard for me and kept me advised of every aspect of the case. Because of the settlement, I am living in a home that I purchased rather than in a nursing home. I have some of my life back."
- Client
"Kevin and Pat represented me in my fall off a ladder. The money I received will let me live in a place where I can move and get around. Also, while I am still badly injured, I know I will not have to worry about money again."
- Client
Kevin and Patrick were amazing to work with and a God send to us in our time of need. They especially had to work even harder during COVID-19 to make a safe way to put our troubles to a smooth and safe finish. They were caring and understanding to our personal situation in the health and well being of our son who was hit by a car. This recommendation was priceless. We are most fortunate that our son's life was spared, but their help to give him back his life will never be forgotten! Thank you Kevin and Patrick and the rest of your team!
