An Attorney Can Help You With A Distracted Driver Case

  • Obtaining all evidence related to the crash, including accident reports, photographic evidence from the scene, eyewitness accounts, and more.
  • Obtaining cell phone records that could show the driver was talking or texting at the time of the crash.
  • Obtaining your medical records and ensuring your total losses are properly calculated by experts.
  • Negotiating with all parties involved to ensure you receive a fair settlement or go to trial if necessary.

How Dangerous Is Distracted Driving?

Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows us that 3,166 people lost their lives in the US due to distracted driving in 2017. Distracted driving includes any activities that divert a driver’s attention away from operating the vehicle, including talking or texting on the phone, eating and drinking, talking to other people in the vehicle, or any other distracting activities.

The CDC says that at 55 mph, taking your eyes off the road to send or read a text for five seconds is long enough to cover the distance of a football field.
