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.
