Distracted driving ranks as the leading cause of car accidents across Pennsylvania. When drivers take their attention away from the road—whether checking their phone, adjusting the radio, or eating—they put everyone at risk.
Texting while driving is particularly dangerous. Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for approximately five seconds. At highway speeds, that's like driving the length of a football field blindfolded.
Visual distractions take your eyes off the road, manual distractions take your hands off the wheel, and cognitive distractions take your mind off driving. Cell phone use combines all three, making it especially hazardous.
Other major causes of accidents include speeding, drunk driving, reckless driving, and poor weather conditions. However, distracted driving continues to be responsible for thousands of preventable crashes each year.
If another driver's negligence caused your accident, you deserve compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Pennsylvania law protects accident victims, but insurance companies often try to minimize payouts.
Our experienced car accident lawyers know how to investigate distracted driving claims, gather evidence like phone records, and build strong cases for maximum compensation. We fight to hold negligent drivers accountable.
