Common Forms of Distracted Driving

While texting while driving is the most well-known and common form of distracted driving, nearly any type of activity that requires a driver’s visual, cognitive, and physical attention while behind the wheel can minimize a driver’s situational awareness and lead to devastating collisions. As a form of negligence, any driver that should cause a collision as a result of their distraction may be held civilly liable for any damages that may result.

Common distractions behind the wheel include:

• Making and receiving phone calls
• Typing and reading text messages
• Adjusting a navigation system
• Eating and drinking
• Talking with a passenger
• Playing smartphone games
• Personal grooming

Through a detailed examination of the facts surrounding your collision, I can help identify the cause of your collision and pursue legal action against those responsible. With my firm’s assistance, you may be able to recover compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, vehicle repairs, lost wages, and emotional distress.
