Motor vehicle accidents happen for various reasons. One of the most frustrating causes is distracted driving.

Types of Distracted Driving

Anything that takes your focus off the road can cause a distracted driving accident. Three general types of distracted driving are visual, manual, and cognitive.

Visual distraction is anything that takes your eyes off the road. Manual distraction is when you take your hands off the wheel. Cognitive distraction occurs when your mind is not focused on driving.

Some distractions fall into all three categories. Some of the most common ways drivers are distracted include:

• Talking, texting, calling, watching a video, or using your phone.
• Reading, including maps.
• Adjusting the radio, air conditioning, or heat.
• Adjusting or looking at a GPS device.
• Eating or drinking.
• Adjusting your seat belt.
• Talking with passengers.
• Unruly children traveling with you.
• Traveling with a pet and allowing it to roam around the vehicle.
• Looking for something in the car.
• Personal grooming.

Common Dallas Distracted Driving Accident Injuries

One of the most common types of accidents caused by distracted driving is rear-end collisions. However, distracted driving also causes drivers to leave the roadway, cross the centerline, run red lights or stop signs, and many other dangerous actions.

These types of crashes can cause severe, even fatal, injuries. Some of the most shared Dallas distracted driving accident injuries include:

• Whiplash.
• Traumatic brain injuries.
• Spinal cord damage.
• Broken bones.
• Back and neck injuries.
• Soft tissue injuries.

Even if you don’t think your injuries are severe, you should be evaluated by a physician after an accident. Some injuries are not immediately apparent but can cause long-term mobility problems and chronic pain.

How Do You Prove a Dallas Distracted Driving Accident Case?

Proving that another driver was distracted and caused your accident can sometimes be challenging. Over time, evidence can be destroyed, lost, or minimized, so we take fast action to identify and collect evidence to support your claim.

We may use eyewitness testimony, dashcam video evidence, video surveillance from nearby businesses or residences, photographs, phone records, or evidence from social media accounts to prove what the at-fault driver was doing at the time of the crash.

We may take the deposition of the driver or their passengers when necessary to help prove your case. Additionally, police reports may indicate evidence of distracted driving.

Our attorneys have the experience, skills, and resources to build your strongest case and help you recover maximum compensation.

How Much is My Dallas Distracted Driving Claim Worth?

We cannot guarantee that you will win your case or recover a specific amount of compensation. However, after we have analyzed the facts of your case and evaluated your injuries and damages, we will provide you with an estimate of what we believe would be a fair settlement of your case.

In a successful Dallas distracted driving accident claim, you should be able to recover both economic and non-economic damages. In rare cases, you may also be awarded punitive damages.

Economic damages include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and any financial costs incurred because of your accident and injuries, including future costs and losses.

Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, mental and emotional anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, scarring, disfigurement, and other intangible damages and losses.

Our attorneys often consult economic and medical experts to help accurately calculate your current and future damages to help determine what your claim is worth and what would be a fair settlement of your case.

Why You Need a Dallas Distracted Driving Accident Lawyer

Insurance companies often use unfair tactics to deny or minimize your claim to persuade you to accept a much lower settlement offer than your claim is worth. An experienced Dallas distracted driving accident lawyer can combat their tactics and hold them accountable for paying the full value of your claim.

Litigation can be stressful and expensive. Most Dallas car accident injury attorneys handle cases on a contingency basis, so you pay nothing until they win for you, allowing you to focus on healing.

An experienced car accident attorney knows how to thoroughly investigate your accident to determine all causes and potentially liable parties. They will also identify and collect essential evidence to prove your claim.

Your attorney will help negotiate a fair settlement of your claim as quickly as possible.

In almost all cases, your chances of recovering maximum compensation are significantly increased when represented by an experienced Dallas distracted driving accident lawyer.
