Common Causes of Distracted Driving

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that roughly one in every six casualties on the road involve at least one distracted driver. Common forms of distraction that can result in a catastrophic accident include, but are not limited to:

• Talking to other passengers in the vehicle,
• Using a phone to talk, text, or watch videos,
• Looking at other things along the road other than the road ahead, and
• Eating, drinking, or grooming while driving

Anytime an individual is driving while distracted can be a serious risk of harm for motorcyclists. As a result of their inattention, distracted drivers can:

• Pull out of side roads without first checking for oncoming traffic,
• Change lanes or veer off their lane and collide into a rider,
• Fail to notice a stop light or sign and drive through an intersection, and
• Cause a serious rear-end collision as a result of tailgating

Establishing Liability After a Distracted Driving Accident

Whenever a driver fails to abide by traffic laws, this may result in property damage, at best. At its worst, the act of negligence can lead to a devastating injury or untimely death of a motorcyclist. When a traffic accident is caused by a distracted driver, the negligent driver can be held legally responsible for the victim’s injuries.

In order to recover monetary compensation, the injured person will need to prove that the other driver was negligent or reckless in causing the accident.
