Distracted driving played a key role in an Oklahoma car accident that happened on Sunday, September 19th about six miles north of Enid, News on 6<\/em><\/a> reported. A teen girl was checking her Ipod around 2am when she looked up, saw something in the road and swerved. A 54-year old woman was riding in the passenger seat and two 16-year old boys were riding in the bed\u2019s truck. The vehicle left the road and flipped one time, ejecting one of the boys an unknown distance. Luckily, that boy was not injured. The other teen boy however, sustained critical head, internal and leg injuries and was transported to a local area hospital. The 16-year old driver also endured injuries and was listed in guarded condition. The 54-year old female passenger was treated and released.<\/p>\n

One of the leading causes of Oklahoma auto accidents<\/a> is distracted driving. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, in 2008 5,870 people died and 515,000 were injured in crashes involving a distracted driver. Additionally, driver distraction rose from 8% in 2004 to 11% in 2008 as the reported cause of auto accidents.<\/p>\n

If you or a loved one has been injured in an Oklahoma car crash due to the negligent actions of a distracted driver, you may be entitled to compensation. Injuries sustained in auto accidents can leave the injured individual with more than just physical stress, but emotional and financial burdens as well. With mounting medical bills, rehabilitation costs, loss of wages for time off work and other hardships, the individual would be wise to consider retaining the services of an experienced Oklahoma City car crash attorney<\/a>. The dedicated and competent lawyers at Maples Law Firm have the resources and tenacity to ensure that the party responsible for your injuries is held accountable for their actions.
