Understanding Distracted Driving Accidents

Distracted driving accidents occur when a driver’s attention is diverted from the road, leading to a collision. Distractions can significantly impair a driver’s ability to react to changing traffic conditions, making these accidents highly dangerous. Common distractions include texting, talking on the phone, eating, adjusting the radio, or using in-car technologies. The consequences of distracted driving can be devastating, resulting in severe injuries, property damage, and even fatalities.

At Blevins & Hong, P.C., we specialize in representing victims of distracted driving accidents. Our attorneys possess the expertise and resources necessary to thoroughly investigate these cases, establish liability, and pursue maximum compensation for our clients. We are dedicated to holding distracted drivers accountable and ensuring that victims receive the justice they deserve.

Common Causes of Distracted Driving Accidents

Distracted driving can result from various behaviors, including:

  • Texting and phone use: Texting while driving is one of the most dangerous distractions, taking a driver’s eyes off the road and hands off the wheel.
  • Eating and drinking: Consuming food or beverages while driving can divert attention away from the road, increasing the risk of an accident.
  • Adjusting controls: Changing the radio station, climate controls, or GPS settings can cause drivers to lose focus on their surroundings.
  • Talking to passengers: Engaging in conversations with passengers can lead to cognitive distractions, reducing a driver’s awareness of road conditions.

Our attorneys are adept at identifying the specific distractions that led to an accident. We meticulously gather evidence, including phone records, witness statements, and accident reconstruction data, to build a compelling case for our clients.

Injuries Resulting from Distracted Driving Accidents

Injuries sustained in distracted driving accidents can be severe and life-altering. Common injuries include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI): These injuries can result in long-term cognitive, physical, and emotional impairments, drastically affecting the victim’s quality of life.
  • Spinal cord injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can cause partial or complete paralysis, necessitating extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
  • Fractures and broken bones: The force of impact in a distracted driving collision can cause serious fractures, requiring surgery and prolonged recovery periods.
  • Internal injuries: Blunt force trauma can result in damage to internal organs, necessitating emergency medical intervention and ongoing care.
  • Whiplash: The sudden impact of a distracted driving accident can cause neck injuries, leading to chronic pain and reduced mobility.

Our legal team understands the profound impact these injuries can have on victims and their families. We are dedicated to securing compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages to help our clients rebuild their lives.

Establishing Liability in Distracted Driving Accidents

Proving liability in distracted driving accidents involves demonstrating that the at-fault driver was engaged in a distracting activity at the time of the collision. This can be achieved through:

  • Phone records: Detailed records can show whether the driver was texting or using their phone at the time of the accident.
  • Witness statements: Testimonies from witnesses who observed the driver’s behavior before, during, and after the accident.
  • Surveillance footage: Video evidence from traffic cameras or nearby businesses can capture the driver’s actions leading up to the accident.
  • Accident reconstruction: Expert analysis can help determine how the distraction contributed to the collision.

At Blevins & Hong, P.C., our attorneys are experienced in gathering and presenting this evidence to establish clear liability. We work tirelessly to hold distracted drivers accountable and secure the compensation our clients deserve.

Compensation for Distracted Driving Accident Victims

Victims of distracted driving accidents may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including:

  • Medical expenses: Coverage for current and future medical treatments, surgeries, rehabilitation, and assistive devices.
  • Lost wages: Compensation for income lost due to the inability to work during recovery.
  • Pain and suffering: Damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life resulting from the accident.
  • Property damage: Reimbursement for the repair or replacement of damaged vehicles and personal property.
  • Loss of consortium: Compensation for the impact of the injuries on the victim’s relationship with their spouse or family members.

At Blevins & Hong, P.C., we are committed to fighting for the maximum compensation our clients deserve. We understand the financial burdens that accident victims face and strive to alleviate these pressures through aggressive and effective legal representation.
