Distracted Driving Accidents

Distracted Drivers Cause Devastating Traffic Accidents-Let a Persistent NY Distracted Driving Injury Lawyer Help!

Of the approximately 16,000 traffic accidents that take place across the area every month, a full 16 percent of them-over 2,000 crashes-are caused by distracted drivers. It's not only cell phone crashes and texting behind the wheel auto wrecks, but new in-dash technology contribute to serious accidents as well. Drivers distracted by searching for GPS directions, posting Facebook updates and Twittering in traffic cause distraction-related collisions every day. Perhaps you were hit by a driver using his MP3 player on 684 in Westchester County, a commuter reading dashboard restaurant reviews on Broadway in Manhattan or a reckless trucker surfing the Internet while speeding down the Staten Island Expressway.

Distracted driving isn’t just limited to the use of technology. It can include any type of activity that causes visual, manual, auditory, and cognitive distractions. For example, drivers who eat, groom, multitask, or look out the window often don’t have their eyes on the road, hands on the wheel, or attention on driving.
