Causes Of Distracted Driving And Proving Negligence

Distracting driving is all too common on the road. Anything that results in a driver becoming distracted is dangerous. This includes manual, visual and cognitive distractions such as:

  • Texting and driving
  • Talking on a cellphone
  • Reading or writing an email on your cellphone
  • Eating or drinking
  • Talking to passengers
  • Applying makeup
  • Adjusting volume or temperature settings
  • Looking for something in your vehicle
  • Daydreaming

Proving negligence in these types of accidents can be difficult. We will diligently investigate your accident to determine liability, preserve evidence and talk to witnesses to help build a strong case. We may try to obtain cellphone records, police reports, witness accounts and other relevant information to help prove the driver was at fault.
