Distracted Driving Accident Claims

Distracted driving is one of the top causes of car accidents today. From texting behind the wheel to eating lunch while driving, these behaviors endanger everyone on the road. If you were hurt by a distracted driver, you may be entitled to compensation.

Types of Distractions

  • Texting or using a phone
  • Eating or drinking
  • Adjusting music or navigation
  • Talking to passengers

Why It Matters

Taking your eyes off the road for just 5 seconds at 55 mph is like driving the length of a football field blind. The consequences can be devastating.

Proving Distraction

Phone records, witness statements, dashcam video, and police observations can be used to prove the driver was not paying attention.

Legal Options

Victims of distracted driving accidents can file a personal injury claim to recover:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering

Do not let the insurance company minimize your case. Contact a car accident lawyer to protect your rights and maximize your recovery.
