Dallas Distracted Driving Accidents Attorney

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 5,474 people were killed in auto accidents caused by distracted driving in 2009, or about 16 percent of all traffic fatalities. In the same year, approximately 448,000 were injured in distracted-driving car accidents.

Distracted driving can involve any action that causes a driver to shift his or her attention from driving to something else. Examples of distracted driving include:

• Cell phone use while driving
• Texting while driving
• Using other hand-held devices while driving
• Changing radio stations, CDs, or iPod while driving
• Eating while driving
• Grooming while driving
• Other actions that require a driver to take his or her eyes off the road, hands off the wheel, or mind off of driving

Is Technology Making Our Roads Less Safe?

It has never been easier to access a world of information from virtually any location. Smartphones allow people to surf the Web, check email, send text messages, and talk on the phone with the touch of a screen. But as people become more and more reliant on this technology, it is becoming more and more difficult for them to stop using it — even when driving. The use of smartphones and other hand-held devices while driving is a serious problem in the United States.

If there is ever a time to exercise responsibility, it is when getting behind the wheel. If the negligence of another driver has caused you physical harm, take legal action to ensure that justice is served. Talk to a personal injury lawyer who can explain your legal options and help you seek compensation for your injuries, suffering, and losses.
