- Talking on a cellphone
- Texting
- Using social media
- Taking a photo
- Eating or drinking
- Tuning the radio
- Tending to children or pets
- Looking up directions
Any of these is an act of negligence in a moving vehicle. Our lawyers will determine the cause of the accident and hold the driver accountable.
California’s Hands-Free Device Use Law
It is illegal to hold a cellphone while driving in California. You must have the phone mounted, and it must be controlled by either voice prompts or one touch. If you are under 18, you are not allowed to use a cellphone at all while driving. People who break these laws are subject to tickets and fines.
Serious Injuries And Wrongful Death Are Possible
Distracted driving accidents can cause a range of serious injuries, including the following:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Fractured bones
- Internal injuries and bleeding
- Burns
- Amputations
Some of these injuries can result in permanent disability or wrongful death. You and your family will need considerable compensation for lost income, medical bills, and pain and suffering. Our lawyers have decades of experience with all types of car accident cases, and they are ready to help you.
When Should You Hire A Distracted Driving Accident Attorney?
The statute of limitations for filing a car accident claim in California is typically two years from the date of the accident. It’s best not to wait that long, though, because evidence can disappear and memories can fade. Our team is prepared to represent you now.
