The most common type of distracted driving that we run into nowadays is people who are using cell phones for either making or receiving calls or texting. Those distracted driving injury cases are fairly easy to determine because we’re able to obtain records regarding use of phones during the time period of our clients injuries or when the accident happened. There are many other types of distracted driving that are more difficult to prove because the driver is not going to admit it. It’s more difficult to determine whether or not those things are happening, such as eating, smoking, drinking, changing GPS devices or using the radio. Those are more difficult to determine, but in some cases where we have witnesses who are able to see that those things are happening, then that distracted driving comes in as a component part of our negligence case.
