Driver Distraction Takes Many Forms
Although texting while driving is known to be the most dangerous and most common kind of distracted driving, the truth is that driver distraction takes many forms. By obtaining witness statements and using other investigative techniques, we are able to build strong cases on behalf of our clients who have been injured by distracted drivers.
Motor vehicle accidents are caused by all a variety of behind-the-wheel behaviors, including:
- Grooming
- Eating and drinking
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Talking on a phone
- Talking to passengers
- Turning around to tend to a child
- Reaching for items in the vehicle

- Looking at or making videos
- Using social media
- Adjusting a GPS device
Three Main Types of Distracted Driving
There are three main types of distracted driving. Understanding how drivers become distracted is one step toward preventing crashes. Keep in mind, too, that the three types of distraction can occur simultaneously, posing an even higher risk of a collision.

Questions? We Have Answers!
-
Should I provide a recorded statement to the insurance company?
It is our strong recommendation that this not be done without legal representation so as not to jeopardize your claim. The reality is that insurance claims adjusters are skilled at asking questions that are designed to result in the reduction or denial of your claim. Insurance companies are businesses, and they are in business to make money. Their lawyers often try to use recorded statements in order to minimize or deny the value of accident claims. You need us to help you.
-
Should I inform the other party's insurance company about the accident?
To pursue the claim, the other party’s insurance company needs to be contacted. However, the other party's insurer — and likely your insurer — may take something that you said and manipulate your statement in order to minimize or altogether deny your accident claim. Again, contact us as soon as possible after your accident, as we can handle any further communication with the insurance companies to ensure no misunderstandings occur and you claim is not jeopardized. Also, if the other party's insurer contacts you for information, you are not obliged to make any statements. Instead, refer the insurer to your attorney.
-
Should I inform my insurance company that I was involved in a crash?
Yes. Waiting to notify your insurer could result in your accident not being covered. However, when you contact the insurance company, provide only the facts of the case and avoid making any statements about who was at fault. You should contact a personal injury lawyer before making any more statements to the insurance company.
