Winning Redress For Distracted Driving Injuries
Tragic accidents can happen when a driver’s attention is not on the operation of the vehicle or the conditions on the road. If innocent people happen to be on the road at the same time as the distracted driver, they could become traffic casualties.
At Pilon Injury Law, we understand that an accident of this type can put an individual and a family into a tailspin. We focus on representing the interests of accident victims and pursue their rights for compensation because so much is at stake. Here are the common distracted driving dangers with some possible ways to avoid them.
Electronic Devices
Anything that takes your attention away from the task of driving can become a dangerous distraction. In recent years, the emergence of electronic devices as a primary distractor through making phone calls and texting has resulted in a dramatic increase in injuries and deaths. Keeping electronics inaccessible when you are driving will help avoid the temptation to use your device while you are behind the wheel.
Vehicle Passengers
Other passengers in the vehicle can be a distraction, especially if the driver of the car is a teen driver. It may help to set ground rules for the number of passengers, if any, your teen can have in the vehicle in the first months of driving.
Eating Or Drinking
Even though cars have cup holders, it is not a great idea to have a hard-to-handle meal behind the wheel. The best practice if you have to eat in the car is to pull over for a few minutes so that you can place all of your attention on the task. Also, you can make your beverage more accessible for drinking by putting it in the cup holder and outfitting it with a straw.
