What is Distracted Driving?
Driving distracted refers to activities that divert the motorist’s attention, including talking or texting on the phone, eating, adjusting the radio, or using a GPS. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, over 20% of all crashes involve some form of distraction. In Houston, the combination of heavy traffic and distracted drivers increases the risk of accidents.
The Importance of Staying Focused
Maintaining focus while driving is crucial for everyone on the road. A split second of inattention can lead to severe consequences, including injuries to yourself and others. Houston’s busy streets during peak hours require total concentration. Understanding the risks associated with distracted driving can help you make informed decisions behind the wheel and encourage those around you to do the same.

Injured in an Accident?
-
Ensure Safety First
If you can, move to a safe location away from traffic. Turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers.
-
Seek Medical Attention
Your health is the top priority. Call 911 or have someone else do so if you have sustained injuries. Even if you feel fine, getting checked by a medical professional is advisable, as some injuries may not be apparent. For example, cervical problems might not show up for 72 hours after the crash.
-
Gather Information
Collect details from the other driver, including name, contact information, insurance details, and vehicle information. Document the scene by taking pictures of the vehicles, surroundings, and any visible injuries. Do not apologize for the accident since this might be misconstrued later as an admission of fault.
-
Witnesses
If there are any witnesses, collect their contact information. Their accounts may be critical if you pursue legal action later.
-
File a Police Report
Contact the local authorities to file a report. This document will serve as essential evidence for your claim and clarify the accident’s circumstances. Get a copy of the police report at the scene.
-
Notify Your Insurance Company
Report the accident to your insurer. Provide accurate details, but avoid admitting fault or discussing potential settlements without your lawyer present.
Understanding Your Legal Rights
In Texas, distracted driving is often considered a negligent act. If you sustain injuries due to another driver’s distraction, you may have the right to seek reimbursement for your injuries and damages. This compensation can include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. It’s critical to consult with a car accident injury attorney who understands the complexities of distracted driving cases in Houston.
Choosing the Right Legal Representation
When selecting a lawyer to represent your case, seek one with experience handling distracted driving accidents. A reasonable attorney will investigate the accident thoroughly, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and fight for the compensation you deserve. Finding an attorney you trust is necessary.
