Distracted driving kills and injures thousands of Pennsylvanians every year. For workers who spend their days on the road - delivery drivers, sales reps, nurses, truckers - the risk of being hit by a distracted driver is constant.
Types of Distracted Driving
- Visual - Eyes off the road (texting, GPS, rubbernecking)
- Manual - Hands off the wheel (eating, reaching for items)
- Cognitive - Mind off driving (phone calls, daydreaming)
Texting combines all three - making it the most dangerous distraction.
Evidence in Distracted Driving Cases
Proving distracted driving strengthens your personal injury claim:
- Cell phone records showing texting at time of crash
- Witness statements about driver behavior
- Lack of braking or evasive action
- Surveillance video from nearby businesses
- Police report noting distraction
Higher Damages for Distracted Drivers
When we can prove the driver was distracted, especially texting, it often leads to higher settlements. Juries are especially unsympathetic to texting drivers, and insurance companies know it.
