What are common causes of distracted driving accidents?
Distracted driving covers a wide range of car accidents. In general, distracted driving can be anything that diverts a driver’s attention away from the road. This can include:
- Texting while driving
- Talking on a cellphone
- Looking for directions on a GPS
- Eating while driving
- Changing the radio station while driving
- Personal grooming (applying makeup, shaving, etc.)
Is this how your distracted driving accident happened? Or are you dealing with a different type of crash? Whatever the circumstances for your distracted driving car accident, we want to help you hold the driver accountable for their actions.
How do you prove that a driver was distracted when they caused your crash?
It often comes down to strong, timely evidence. Many drivers won’t admit to looking at their phone or losing focus right before a collision. That’s why your attorney’s investigation is so important – to find clear proof that the driver was not paying attention at the time of the crash. Such evidence can include:
- Video evidence – Footage from dashcams, security systems, or nearby traffic cameras may show the driver looking away or engaging in another distracting behavior before impact.
- Witness statements – People nearby may have seen the driver eating, reaching for something, or talking to passengers moments before the crash.
- Electronic vehicle data – Many modern vehicles record speed, braking, and steering activity in the moments before a crash. If the data shows no attempt to slow down or avoid impact, it can point to driver distraction.
- Social media or app activity – Posts, messages, or app usage right before the accident can serve as digital proof that the driver’s attention was on their phone instead of the road.
- Crash evidence – The way the vehicles collided or the absence of evasive maneuvers can help investigators determine that the driver wasn’t focused on driving.
The sooner an attorney begins investigating, the easier it is to collect this type of evidence before it disappears. At Gill, Welsh, and Chamberlain, P.A., our Delaware distracted driving accident lawyers know how to uncover proof of negligence and build strong cases for injured clients. We’ll work to hold the at-fault driver accountable and pursue the full compensation you deserve.
