Corpus Christi Distracted Driving Accident Attorneys

Drivers today are more distracted than they have ever been in the past. Smartphones, iPads, handheld devices, and in-car entertainment systems and other complicated features have made it easier for drivers to lose focus on the road. While these advances in technology have made our lives easier, using them at the wrong time and in the wrong way can ruin lives. Distracted driving accidents are disproportionately caused by and affect younger drivers and there were 95,572 accidents caused by distracted driving alone in Texas in 2018. Distracted driving is easily avoidable in most situations and no one is a good enough multi-tasker to remove any of their focus from the road.

Common Cases of Distracted Driving 

Drivers can become distracted through many means, some of which may seem impossible to avoid. A mother with a fussing child might not have all of her attention on the road. A pet owner, taking their dog to the vet, might become distracted when their dog jumps up in the front seat unexpectedly. A particularly fancy billboard may grab a driver’s attention in an otherwise distraction-free environment. In a construction zone, a driver may become confused about the signage and flow of traffic, especially if the roadway doesn’t have appropriate directions. However, all of these cases could’ve been prevented.

Hiring an attorney becomes important because they can argue that the mother could’ve pulled off to the side of the road to find out what was wrong with her child before continuing. An attorney can argue that the pet should’ve been in a crate or kennel for the sake of transportation. If the billboard was shiny, bright, or legitimately distracting, the attorney could take on the company who designed it or approved it. In the case of improper signage keeping a driver from focusing on the road, an experienced lawyer can take on the construction company. Don’t let someone else’s negligence lead to your continued suffering. Instead, hire an attorney who will be able to look at all of the facts and successfully argue that all distractions could’ve been prevented.
