Common Types of Distractions
Distracted driving can take many forms, and each type poses a significant risk on the road. Common distractions include:
- Texting or talking on a cellphone
- Using in-car technologies, such as GPS or entertainment systems
- Eating or drinking
- Talking to passengers
- Grooming or applying makeup
- Reading, including maps or other materials
- Adjusting music or temperature controls
These distractions divert the driver's attention from the task at hand, impairing their ability to react quickly and safely to potential hazards on the road. It only takes a split second of distraction for a serious accident to occur.
As experienced distracted driving accident attorneys, we thoroughly investigate the circumstances of the accident to identify the specific distraction that contributed to the crash. This information plays a crucial role in building a compelling case and holding the negligent party accountable.
Types of Accidents Caused by Distracted Driving
Distracted driving can lead to a wide range of accidents, including:
- Rear-end collisions
- T-bone or side-impact collisions
- Head-on collisions
- Intersection accidents
- Pedestrian or bicycle accidents
- Single-vehicle accidents
These accidents can result in severe injuries, property damage, and even fatalities. If you have been involved in any type of accident caused by a distracted driver, our dedicated team of lawyers is ready to provide the legal assistance you need.
We work diligently to establish a clear link between the distracted driver's negligence and the injuries you have suffered. Our goal is to help you pursue the compensation necessary to cover your medical expenses, ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, and other damages resulting from the accident.
How Liability Is Determined in Distracted Driving Accident Cases
In distracted driving accident cases, determining liability is crucial to securing compensation for the injured party. Our skilled attorneys meticulously investigate the accident to gather evidence that supports your claim.
We analyze various factors to determine liability, including:
- Cellphone records or other electronic data

By thoroughly examining these elements, we build a strong case that establishes the distracted driver's negligence and their responsibility for the accident. Our relentless pursuit of justice ensures that the liable party is held accountable for their actions.
