We Can Build Your Case with Supporting Evidence

If you were in a distracted driving accident, our lawyer may be able to develop a strong argument on your behalf.

Our Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers attorney must first prove there was a duty of care owed to you, which means the other party had an obligation to protect you from injury. When driving, all drivers owe each other a “duty of care.” They must obey road rules and drive safely.

Next, our team must show that the other driver breached their duty of care by being negligent, careless, or malicious. In distracted driving cases, negligence usually includes some action that caused them to take their attention away from the road.

Common Evidence in Distracted Driving Cases

Your lawyer may gather pertinent information and evidence from the scene or other sources to support your claim. Supporting evidence might include:

  • Eyewitness interviews
  • Police reports
  • Medical records
  • Your statement about the event
  • Photos and videos of the accident

Financial recovery may be available after your distracted driving accident if we can help you can prove you were in an accident due to someone else’s negligence.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

Many Forms of Distracted Driving Can Lead to Accidents

There are many distractions that drivers must resist to remain safe and focused behind the wheel. This includes smartphones, roadside distractions, and talking passengers. When they do not remain attentive while driving, they become susceptible to causing an accident and harming others.

Many people think of talking on the phone or texting when they think of distracted driving. Using a smartphone in any capacity while driving is a problem, but there are other forms of distracted driving.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that about eight people are killed in a distracted driving accident in the United States daily. Many others suffer injuries. The CDC also states there are three main categories of distracted driving:

  • Visual
  • Manual
  • Cognitive

Visual distractions cause you to look away from the road, manual distractions cause you to take your hands off the wheel, and cognitive distractions cause you to take your mind off the road. Some activities, including reading or sending a text, involve more than one of these categories.

In addition to making a call or other use of a smartphone, other causes of distracted driving include:

  • Passengers, especially children or pets in the back seat
  • Outdoor distractions or obstacles on the road
  • Eating or drinking
  • Adjusting internal controls, such as the radio or temperature controls
  • Attempting to manage other tasks at the same time

In a distracted driving case, it may not be possible to prove what distracted the driver. Instead, your lawyer may need to show the results of the distraction. This could include violating other traffic laws, such as running a red light, not stopping for traffic, or failing to maintain their lane.

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
