“Distracted Driving”, texting while driving and instant messaging while driving have lead to injuries to runners, bikers and pedestrians lawfully in the roadway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Distracted drivers are a danger.\u00a0 No one would argue that point.\u00a0 Athletes who train on or near our roadways are particularly vulnerable to a driver who takes his or her eyes off the road, even for a few seconds.<\/p>\n

This moving video <\/a>shows just how much one driver’s brief distraction can impact so many lives.<\/p>\n

Herndon injury lawyer Doug Landau enjoys biking and running on trails and roadways and wants to feel safe when doing so.\u00a0 “We as a society must do all we can to put an end to distracted driving,” says Doug, “for everyone’s sake.”<\/p>\n

If you or someone you know has been injured by the actions of a distracted driver, and there are questions as to what laws apply, email<\/a> or call Abrams Landau, Ltd. at once (703-796-9555).<\/p>\n
