Distraction can be visual distraction, physical distraction, and cognitive distraction. There is no question, smart phones are now the number one cause of distracted driving accidents. A driver using their phone while driving to check Facebook, social media, e-mails, or send and respond to text messages, is a distracted driver. The increase in the number of accidents caused by drivers on their phone has reached alarming levels.
As you can see, the roads are full of distracted drivers who could leave you needing an experienced attorney to pursue your legal rights.
