What Is Considered Distracted Driving?

Distracted driving is any activity that takes your attention away from the road. While driving, your eyes and mind should be on the road and on the cars around you. Anything that takes your attention away from the road is a distraction. Common examples of distracted driving include:

• Using a cell phone
• Texting
• Talking to passengers
• Eating and drinking
• Adjusting the radio
• Reading a book or newspaper
• Using a GPS
• Grooming
• Playing with a pet
• Changing the temperature or radio station

What Are My Legal Options if I Was Injured by a Distracted Driver?

If you were injured in a distracted driving accident, you can file a personal injury lawsuit against the driver and/or the driver's insurance company. In California, the driver's insurance company is responsible for paying for the injured victim's medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. If the driver does not have insurance, the victim can sue the driver personally for the damages.

To build a strong case, we will need to gather as much evidence as possible. This will include:

• Police reports
• 911 calls
• Eyewitness accounts
• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Physical and emotional damages

We will work to prove that the driver's negligence was the cause of the accident. Negligence is the failure to use reasonable care in a given situation. In a distracted driving accident, the driver's negligence is the use of a cell phone, text message, or other device while driving. If we can prove that the driver's negligence was the cause of the accident, we can prove that the driver is liable for the victim's damages.

Victims who are injured by a distracted driver may be eligible to receive compensation for their:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering

The amount of money you are awarded will depend on the severity of your injuries and the negligence of the driver. The more severe your injuries, the more money you may be owed. If the driver was using a cell phone or other device when they crashed into you, they may be liable for your damages. Our team will work to prove that the driver's negligence caused your accident, and that they are liable for your injuries.
