Bradenton Distracted Driving Accident Lawyers
With the constant technological advances and additions to vehicle features, it would seem that drivers are almost encouraged to be distracted while on the road. From the radio to voice-texting to making and receiving phone calls, nearly anything can pull a driver’s attention from the task at hand.
Since 1989, the law firm of Legler Murphy & Battaglia, LLP, has guided Florida clients through personal injury claims after even the most serious accident. From cars to trucks to motorcycles, our attorneys are prepared to represent injured clients through every stage of the legal process.
What Are Distractions?
In general, a driving distraction is anything that impedes a driver’s ability. For example, distractions can be visual (taking your eyes off the road to read a text), manual (removing your hands from the steering wheel to eat a bite of sandwich) or cognitive (daydreaming and losing focus on the road around you). The most common examples of distractions are:
- Texting
- Talking on the phone
- Talking to passengers
- Eating
- Personal grooming
- Adjusting radio stations or mp3 files
- Operating a navigation system menu
- Reaching for objects in the back seat
- Interacting with other drivers
- Dressing
- Applying makeup
Essentially, anything can be a distraction. It is imperative for drivers to remain attentive to the road and other vehicles around them. If you or a loved one was injured in an accident caused by a distracted driver, schedule a free consultation to discuss your distracted driving accident injuries.
