If you or someone you love has been injured because of the reckless driving of another person, let this experienced West Palm Beach reckless driving lawyer evaluate your case. A reckless driving accident usually happens when one or more drivers are operating their vehicle recklessly, while distracted, or in a way that deliberately disregards the safety of others or property around them.

Driving in the wrong lane, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, weaving in and out of traffic, driving while eating, driving while talking or texting on a cell phone, driving too fast and failing to abide by traffic signals or signs are some examples of reckless driving.

The most important difference between reckless and negligent driving relates to a reckless driver’s “knowingly” or “purposely” endangering himself and others on the road. A negligent driver typically simply makes a mistake driving without any bad intent.
Reckless driving is characterized by carelessness that is so severe as to be willful and wanton. For instance, texting and driving while driving down the road would be considered reckless.
Reckless driving can also be defined by intentional behavior. For instance, if a driver deliberately blows through a red-light or a stop-sign, then that driver can be blamed for reckless driving.
Reckless driving is highly dangerous. Any person found to be recklessly driving puts other lives in danger on roads. If you are the victim of somebody else’s reckless driving, you might able to pursue a punitive damages case against the other driver. These damages are designed to punish the other driver involved in the accident.
Certain sorts of reckless driving on the part of the other driver might qualify you to get punitive damages. These include drinking and driving/drunk driving and texting and driving/distracted driving.
