Distracted driving is a common and preventable cause of accidents. Public awareness campaigns and new laws have put a spotlight on texting while driving, but too many drivers still do not take distracted driving seriously. Texting is just one of many distractions that can cause accidents. Anything that takes your eyes or attention from the road is dangerous. Some distractions are harder to avoid than others, but if a distracted driver caused your accident, that driver can and should be held financially responsible for your injuries.
