For Distracted Driving Victims

Distracted driving is a major cause of vehicle and pedestrian related accidents.  Distracted driving is particularly dangerous in Florida due to many roadways have posted speeds at or exceeding 45 miles per hour.  The victims of the distracted driver may include drivers or passengers in other vehicles.  But injury victims may also include passengers inside of the distracted driver’s vehicle.  Distracted driving is a growing problem due to the increased use of new technology, smartphones, and other technological improvements.  Regardless, drivers owe a duty to other members of the public to drive responsibility and use safe driving techniques.  Most distractions will place civil liability on the driver to compensate those injured as a result of the distracted driving.

Types of Distracted Driving

• Cell phone conversations
• Eating or Drinking while driving
• Using a GPS navigation system or smartphone
• Watching videos
• Tuning radios or digital music channels
• Passenger distractions including children and friends

Studies have shown that teens are most likely to engage in distracted driving behavior.  But teenagers owe the same duty as adult drivers.  A distracted teenager and their parents are responsible to compensate you for your injuries.  It is important to contact a law firm that will seek justice for your rights, regardless of the responsible party.
