Distracted Driving
Distracted driving accounts for a huge percentage of car accidents. Taking your eyes off of the road even for a second decreases your ability to react to changes in the road, thereby increasing your risk of causing an accident. Some studies even report that distracted driving can be as dangerous as drunk driving.
If you or a loved one has suffered injury or property damage from a car accident caused by a distracted driver, you may be entitled to compensation. Call the experienced Wausau car accident attorneys of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. at 800-242-2874 to discuss your rights.
Common Distractions
The biggest danger of distracted driving is the frequency in which it occurs. Almost every driver has been guilty of distracted driving at some point. The following are some common ways that drivers become distracted behind the wheel:
- Talking or texting on a cell phone
- Grooming or looking at one’s self in the mirror
- Changing CDs, MP3s, or radio stations
- Talking to passengers
- Eating or drinking
Although you may do your best to minimize these distractions, others may not necessarily be as courteous. Contact an attorney if you have been hurt by a driver that failed to adhere to these safety laws and regulations.
