In recent years, as cell phones have become almost universal, distracted driving has emerged as a major cause of truck and car accidents. In fact, 10 percent of all fatal accidents now result from driver distraction, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). However, proving that a driver was distracted at the time of the accident can be difficult. A distracted driving accident attorney from our law firm can fully investigate your crash and help you get justice for your injuries and damages. No matter how large or complex the claim, we investigate every possibility to find who is truly responsible.
The most common and potentially dangerous form of distracted driving is texting while driving. Texting and driving accidents involve an area of the law that is still evolving. Every state has different laws concerning distracted driving. Additionally, new technology that can be used to detect and/or prove driver distraction develops every year. If you are involved in a catastrophic car or truck accident, you need attorneys who can and will explore every possibility for proving your case.
At Colson Hicks Eidson, we pride ourselves on being trailblazers in emerging areas of the law. Partner Mike Eidson, for example, was and is a leader in pioneering car defect litigation. In recognition of his groundbreaking work, he served as national lead co-counsel for the multidistrict litigation involving Ford SUV rollovers and defective Firestone tires. Partner Curtis Miner was also appointed as co-counsel on the national multidistrict litigation for defective Takata airbags. If you need assistance on a novel or complex case like these, including distracted driving cases, contact our law firm today.
Although texting and driving is becoming more common, driver distraction can take many forms. Anything that pulls your attention away from the task of driving can potentially cause a distracted driving accident. Some of the most common forms of driver distraction include:
