What is one of the most common causes of car accident personal injury claims? I have been handling Rhode Island and Massachusetts car accident cases, thousands of them, for many years. In the last decade, the number of texting and driving/distracted driving cases has skyrocketed. In fact, I was the first (and only) lawyer to have an editorial in the Sunday Providence Journal about this danger way back over 8 years ago. So, what is this all about?
Personal Injury Law: Proving Different Types of Distracted Driving
The month of April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Any action that takes your eyes and focus off the road can be considered distracted driving – but the riskiest behaviors can be broken down into three categories:
- Visual Distractions: Checking cell phones, changing radio stations, and looking at GPS navigation systems while driving
- Manual Distractions: Eating while driving or reaching for an item in the backseat, making you take your eyes off the road.
- Cognitive Distractions: hands-free cellphone discussions or even daydreaming while driving can distract a driver.
