Distracted drivers continue to be one of the top reasons accidents happen. Drivers that are not keeping their eyes on the road ahead put all other drivers and their passengers at risk.

The responsible party's insurance company must be forced to pay you damages.

Statistics for Distracted Driver Accidents
In a recent year, over 3,000 innocent people lost their lives due to the negligent actions of a distracted driver. The federal Department of Transportation has asked car manufacturers to begin limiting the in-vehicle systems to help to reduce the numbers of distracted drivers. Vehicles can now include a GPS, music systems that sync with your digital device, in-vehicle video systems and drivers can carry on other devices as well. The potential for disaster by distracted driving has increased due to these factors, which are added to the others that already existed.
