Distracted Driving Car Accidents
I Was Hit By Someone Texting, But They Are Denying Using The Device. There Were No Witnesses. How Can I Prove They Were Distracted While Driving?
Cell phones are everywhere. Automobile drivers are everywhere. Unfortunately, these two items often work in tangent. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for a driver, especially a teenager or young person, to be distracted by his or her phone. The distraction could come from talking on the phone (which is illegal in many states) if not on a hands-free device, or the distraction could present itself in browsing the web, texting or even watching a show.
So, what happens if you find yourself in a collision with another vehicle and it’s due to the negligence of the other driver and their inability to keep their eyes off their phone? Here’s a simpler way to say it: What if I’m in an accident that was caused by someone texting? Here’s what you do:
- Seek medical attention (if necessary) immediately.
- Contact the police
- Communicate the fault of the other party due to their phone usage while driving
- Take photos of the accident
- Ask witnesses to provide testimony
