What You Need to Know About Cellphone Usage and Driving
With more and more cars on the road, there are more and more accidents. Cell phone use is a huge issue, along with other things that cause drivers to be distracted from the task at hand, which is keeping other drivers on the road safe.
There are some exceptions to some of the cell phone laws. Like, for instance, you can make a phone call to the fire department or law-enforcement or an ambulance in emergency situations. If someone who is operating an emergency vehicle uses the phone, that is also legal.
If these don’t apply to you and you have your phone in your hands, then you can be pulled over and ticketed for using your cell phone.
If you were using your cell phone under a circumstance that would not be considered an emergency and you caused an accident with someone, then you would be the liable party.
Victims of drivers who were using their cell phone and caused an accident are entitled to seek compensation.
Distracted Driving Examples
The term “distracted driving” can refer to a variety of things that have one factor in common: your attention is no longer on the road when you are distracted driving.
If your liable party was on the phone texting or sending an email or in some cases people even watching YouTube while they’re driving, they will be held responsible for the damages they cause.
Some people joke about being able to drive with their knees while they put hot sauce on a taco, but these negligent actions can cause collisions.
The second someone takes their eyes off the road for any reason, even to look at the sky, they are asking to be involved in a collision. The chances of a collision skyrocket if someone is distracted while they’re driving.
There are three categories of distracted driving that your accident might fall into including the following:
Manual distractions- when the liable party takes their hands off of the wheel for any reason.
Cognitive distractions- when the liable party is watching the road but their minds start to wander and their attention dissolves.
Visual distractions- when the liable party focuses their eyes on something other than the road for any reason.
Injuries from Distracted Driving Cases
These accidents are far too common because the usage of things like cell phones and tablets while driving is becoming more prevalent. These accidents don’t just involve a distracted young driver who is so addicted to their phones they can’t look away. It’s also people who are trying to work while they’re driving or truck drivers whose minds can’t focus because they’re sleep-deprived. All of these accidents tend to have one thing in common; they harm other innocent people on the road.
The injuries included on the list of most frequent distracted driving injuries include head, neck and back injuries, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, broken bones and fractures, and many more.
