Distracted drivers cause a lot of pain. In Texas, there are 100,000 car accidents a year caused by distracted drivers. There are almost 500 deat hs per year in Texas caused by distracted drivers. If a distracted driver has hurt you, then it is essential to get your matter evaluated. Distracted driving can include anything that takes the driver’s attention from the road. This often includes talking on the phone, eating, posting on social media, reading emails, texting while driving, putting on makeup, fatigue, distractions by children, reading, navigation devices, changing the radio or air conditioning, and other causes.
Waco car accident attorneys have many ways to prove driver distraction. For example, we can examine phone records and social media information showing what was happening on the person’s phone at the time of the car wreck. It’s essential to look for signs of a distracted driver after a Waco car accident. For example, note any wireless phone that the person was holding at the time and ask witnesses if they saw anything similar.
More than just the distracted driver may be civilly liable for the accident. For example, the distracted driver’s employer could be civilly liable, and the car owner may have negligently entrusted his vehicle to a distracted person.
When the driver’s eyes are off the road, hands off the wheel or mind is off driving. It can lead to a car crash. Looking down for just a few seconds while traveling 30 miles an hour can be the distance of a few hundred feet. It is an unreasonably dangerous activity. We hold distracted drivers responsible for the damage that they cause.
