A Split Second of Distraction Can Change Everything
Some drivers forget—or choose to ignore—that they’re operating heavy machinery at high speeds. They take their eyes off the road for “just a second” to do something that could easily wait.
What many distracted drivers don’t realize is how much distance can be covered in just a few seconds. A vehicle traveling at 55 mph covers the length of an entire football field in just 5 seconds.
Driving while distracted is negligent, irresponsible, and dangerous—and when it causes an accident, the distracted driver should be held accountable for the harm they’ve caused.
The Growing Problem of Distracted Driving
The use of portable technology has increased dramatically, and with it, the level of distraction for drivers on the road. In California and many other states, talking or texting while driving is a fineable offense. However, that doesn’t stop many drivers—especially teenagers and young adults—from doing it anyway.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- In 2013, 3,154 people were killed and 424,000 were injured in auto accidents involving distracted drivers
- 10% of all teen drivers involved in fatal crashes were reported as distracted at the time of the crash
- Approximately 27% of distracted drivers in fatal crashes were in their 20s
Many drivers believe that using a hands-free device is a safer alternative, but research shows that hands-free devices are just as distracting and dangerous as handheld devices.
Common Causes of Distracted Driving Accidents
Distracted driving accidents can be caused by:
- Talking on a cell phone while driving
- Texting while driving
- Eating or drinking while driving
- Talking to passengers while driving
- Using a navigation system while driving
- Adjusting a music player or other electronic device while driving
If you’ve been injured by a distracted driver, you have the right to pursue compensation for the harm they’ve caused.
We Fight for Victims of Distracted Driving Accidents
An initial review of a suspected distracted-driving collision can address the crash report, witness accounts, photographs and other available records. Tell the attorney what you observed and distinguish it from what you were told later.
The attorney can discuss what further investigation may be appropriate and how insurance discussions or a lawsuit could fit the circumstances. No particular settlement or court outcome can be promised.

Common Questions About Personal Injury Cases in California
If you’ve been injured, you probably have questions about how the legal process works, what it costs, and how long you have to take action. Here are straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often from injured Californians.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
The firm offers a free initial consultation. Before hiring the firm, ask for the proposed written agreement explaining attorney fees and case costs, including how they are calculated, when they are owed and what happens if there is no recovery.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
Many California personal injury lawsuits have a two-year limitation period, but the deadline depends on the claim and circumstances. Claims involving government agencies can require an earlier administrative claim. Exceptions and other time limits may apply.
Ask an attorney promptly about the exact deadlines for your situation. Requesting a consultation does not extend a deadline. See the California Courts guide to filing deadlines and its government-claim guide for general information.
How is the value of my case determined?
A website cannot determine what an individual case is worth. An attorney may review responsibility for the incident, available evidence, medical expenses, lost income, the effect of an injury and available insurance or other sources of recovery.
Bring records you already have and ask what additional information would help the review. Any evaluation depends on the facts; a consultation is not a promise of compensation.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Responsibility for an accident can be disputed and can affect a claim and any compensation. Tell the attorney what happened, including facts that may suggest you or another person contributed to the incident.
An attorney can review the evidence and explain how California fault rules may apply. Do not assume that a percentage of fault or a particular recovery can be determined before that review.
How long does a personal injury case take?
There is no single timetable. Treatment, evidence gathering, disputed facts, insurance discussions and any court proceedings can affect how long a matter takes.
Ask the attorney about the likely next steps, what information is still needed and how the team would communicate updates. An initial estimate is not a guaranteed completion date.
Do I have to go to court?
Some injury matters resolve through discussions or settlement; others require a lawsuit and may proceed to trial. The appropriate approach depends on the facts, deadlines and the parties’ positions.
Ask the attorney what steps may be needed, what your participation would involve and how settlement and litigation decisions would be discussed with you.
