What Is Distracted Driving?

Distracted driving is commonly associated with texting while driving.

However, many other actions are also considered distracted driving. There are three different forms of distracted driving: visual, manual, and cognitive. Activities that fall within these three categories include:

  • Texting
  • Using a smartphone to browse social media or stream music
  • Watching a video
  • Reading, including maps, or passing billboards
  • Eating or drinking
  • Talking to passengers
  • Helping a child with their seatbelt or retrieving something
  • Rummaging through personal belongings
  • Adjusting the radio or GPS
  • Daydreaming
  • Putting on makeup or grooming
  • Becoming distracted by something inside or outside the vehicle
  • Talking on the phone, even if using a hands-free device

Because many drivers are not caught using their phones or becoming distracted behind the wheel, this entitles many to think they are behaving safely rather than engaging in an action that could cause a serious accident.

How Much Compensation Can I Recover in a Distracted Driving Case?

Victims of distracted driving accidents often wonder how much compensation they can recover for a distracted driving accident case. The truth of the matter is that the maximum compensation you can recover is determined by various factors that a car accident lawyer can help you with. The severity of your injuries, the damages or losses you have suffered, and potentially any fault you had in the accident can play a major role. Whether victims of car crashes suffer catastrophic injuries or minor injuries, a car accident lawyer can make a difference when trying to recover compensation.

Car accidents that result in serious injury can often net higher compensation settlements from the insurance company. In general, the types of compensation you can recover from a distracted driving accident include medical expenses, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and more. If the other driver in your accident acted negligently—leading to your injuries—you deserve justice. Contact our law firm today to obtain compensation from the other driver’s insurance company. We offer a free consultation to distracted driving accident victims and for other personal injury cases.

How Can a Personal Injury Lawyer Help Me Prove Negligence?

There are three root forms of distracted driving, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): visual, manual, and cognitive. Visual includes taking your eyes off the road at any time. Manual means removing your hands from the steering wheel. Cognitive means allowing your mind to wander from the task at hand.

Because Ohio law does not specifically prohibit each form of distracted driving, skilled legal representation is necessary to aggressively advocate for your injuries. Insurance companies will do much to dispute the cause of the accident and the damages you are due. Our attorneys will hit back. We are not afraid to take the case to court to pursue the maximum amount of damages possible.

Can a Distracted Driving Lawyer Advocate for Me?

Motor vehicle accidents caused by distracted drivers often completely disrupt the lives of others caught in the crash at no fault of their own. You will want to get an aggressive lawyer on your side to uphold your rights and minimize your own stress and responsibilities. We believe any responsible driver that has been injured in a car accident due to someone else’s negligence deserves our strong legal support. Auto accidents caused by distracted driving happen all the time. Let us help you make the most out of your situation. Our Dayton distracted driving accident lawyers are waiting to help you with such a high-stakes case. Give us a call at 937-230-8330.
