How Can an Attorney Prove Distracted driving?
One of the primary ways a car accident lawyer can assist you is by conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident. To establish that the accident occurred due to distracted driving, your attorney will employ various strategies. They will examine the driver's phone records, witness testimonies, and any available video footage to establish that the driver was engaged in distracting activities, such as texting, talking on the phone, or using social media at the time of the accident. Proving distracted driving is crucial in demonstrating negligence on the part of the driver and strengthening your case for compensation.
What Are Distracted driving Activities?
Distracted driving refers to any activity that diverts a driver's attention from the task of operating a vehicle. This can include visual distractions that take the driver's eyes off the road, manual distractions that remove their hands from the wheel, or cognitive distractions that divert their focus and concentration. Common distractions include cell phone use, eating or drinking, interacting with passengers, grooming, or adjusting in-car technologies.
What Are Common Injuries Caused By Distracted-driving Car crashes?
The injuries commonly sustained in an automobile accident caused by distracted driving can range from soft tissue damage and whiplash, to traumatic brain injuries and crush injuries.
Other common injuries include:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Brain injuries
- Back injuries
- Neck injuries
- Burns

Do I Qualify for Economic and Non-economic damages?
The damages you may be entitled to will depend on many variables, such as the severity of your injuries, how those injuries have impacted your life, lost wages, whether you will be able to return to work, the value of property damage, and more.
Seeking compensation for your injuries and damages can help you rebuild your life following a distracted driving accident. Compensation can cover medical expenses, including hospital bills, rehabilitation costs, and ongoing treatment. It can also address lost wages due to missed work, vehicle repair or replacement, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
