Common Types of Distractions

There are many distractions that can take a motorist’s mind and eyes off the road.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lists the three main types of distractions:

  • Visual distractions, which takes a driver’s eyes off the task of driving
  • Manual distractions, which are distractions that remove a driver’s hands from the wheel
  • Cognitive distractions, which takes a driver’s mind off of the road

Smartphones pose many possible distractions for drivers. According to the CDC, texting behind the wheel involves the three types of distractions listed above. However, distracted driving is not limited to smartphone use. Distracted driving also includes reaching for items, scrolling through social media, and eating and drinking.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that over 2,800 people lost their lives in distracted driving accidents in 2018. If the actions of another motorist caused you to get hurt or lose a loved one, call Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP. Together, we can explore your legal options at no cost to you.

Pieces of Evidence that Could Help Your Case

Whether you are filing a personal injury or wrongful death case, the burden of proof is on you. To recover compensation, you will need to provide various forms of evidence to show how you were injured by a negligent driver. For instance, one piece of information that could help your case is the police report. This document could include the location of the accident, any statements made by the other driver or witnesses, and whether an ambulance needed to be called.

In addition to the police report, other types of information that could support your case include:

  • The names of any witnesses and their contact information
  • Photographs or videos of the accident scene
  • Your medical records
  • Traffic camera footage, if available
  • Whether the other driver was issued a traffic citation or charged with a crime
  • Information and documentation from your healthcare provider

You should keep all reports, records, and other documents that you receive regarding the accident and your medical treatment. This can help your lawyer advance your case while negotiating a settlement. Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP can provide legal assistance in the aftermath of a distracted driving accident.
