Representing Injured Drivers and Passengers in Central Illinois
Distracted drivers often cause very serious accidents because they are not paying attention to the road. They may swerve into other lanes and ignore traffic lights and signs, which can lead to head-on collisions, rear-end collisions or T-bone collisions. Victims may suffer catastrophic injuries or, in the worst cases, wrongful death.
If you or a loved one has been injured by a distracted driver, you need experienced representation. Kanoski & Associates has been assisting injury victims and their families for more than 30 years. We will seek the compensation you need to heal from injuries or move forward after losing a family member to wrongful death.

What Is Distracted Driving?
Distracted driving covers a wide range of activities behind the wheel such as:
- Drunk driving
- Texting while driving
- Use of e-mail or instant messages
- Dialing or talking on a cell phone
- Using an MP3 player
- Surfing the Internet
- Tuning the radio
- Looking at a map
- Eating and drinking
- Talking to another passenger
- Applying makeup
- Dealing with a child or pet
Generally, anything that takes your mind and eyes off the road, and/or your hands off the wheel, may be considered a distraction.
Illinois law prohibits distracted driving. The recently enacted laws prohibit drivers from texting while driving and make it illegal to talk on a cell phone while driving through a highway construction zone or school zone. It is also illegal to compose, send or read text messages, instant messages and e-mail, or surf the Internet on a cell phone or laptop computer, or use a personal digital assistant, while driving.
