Our Boca Raton Distracted Driving Accident Lawyers Have Vast Experience Successfully Helping Injured Victims of Negligent and Reckless Drivers

According to 2020 statistics from Florida’s Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles, there were 48,000 crashes in Florida involving distracted drivers, causing nearly 300 deaths & 2,700 serious injuries.

Let’s face it. In today’s age, personal cellular phone devices have become a large part of our lives, allowing individuals to accomplish much more from their fingertips.  These cell phones, smartphones, and devices (like iPads, E-Readers, and tablets) are now like miniature computers, which allow you to text, email, compose documents, listen to music, and do just about anything a computer can do.  Vehicles are also much more complex and also come with an array of entertainment options and smart features. 

With all this new and innovative technology, there comes the price that many drivers on the road are often distracted, leading to more and more accidents.  In fact, when a driver is not focused on the road, it limits their ability to come to a stop and avoid a crash.

Distracted Driving comes in many forms, including:

  • Visual – Taking your eyes off the road.
  • Manual – Taking your hands off the wheel.
  • Cognitive – Thinking about anything other than driving.

Examples of distracted driving are:

  • Texting or talking on the cellular phone or others while driving.
  • Interacting with children, pets or other passengers while driving, especially if they are in the back seat.
  • Eating, drinking, putting on makeup or grooming, adjusting radio or climate controls, checking your GPS app or other features of a car, or simply daydreaming, while driving.

Special emphasis should be placed on texting while driving as a major cause of distracted driving accidents, as texting causes all three of the most common distractions: manual, visual & cognitive. Please do not text, talk or otherwise use your phone while driving.
