Common Elements in Distracted Driving Cases 

Driving a car is not only a privilege, it is also a huge responsibility. If the driver does not respect the danger their moving vehicle creates to those around it and allows themselves to become distracted, they could cause a serious traffic collision at any moment, such as rear-end collisions that can escalate into multi-vehicle pileups. The greatest, most-defensive of drivers on the roads may be completely unable to predict and avoid a distracted driver’s vehicle as it blows through red lights or swerves into adjacent lanes.

There are three forms of distraction that may affect a driver:

1. Mental: Thinking about something other than driving carefully.
2. Manual: Placing hands off the steering wheel for more than a second.
3. Visual: Looking at anything that is not the road and mirrors of the car.

Texting and driving accidents have become so common because using a cellphone engages the driver in all three forms of distraction at once. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have collected data that suggests that distracted driving is just as dangerous as intoxicated driving.

Understanding Your Rights After a Distracted Driving Accident

After being involved in a distracted driving accident, it’s essential to understand your legal rights and options. Many victims are unaware that they may be entitled to compensation not only for medical expenses but also for lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. At Hutton & Hutton Law Firm, LLC, we believe in empowering our clients with knowledge so they can make informed decisions about their cases.

Here are some key points to consider regarding your rights:

• Negligence Claim: If the other driver was distracted and caused the accident, you may have a strong negligence claim against them.
• Insurance Coverage: Understanding your own insurance policy, including uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, can play a crucial role in your recovery.
• Document Everything: Keeping detailed records of your medical treatment, expenses, and any correspondence related to your accident can significantly strengthen your case.
• Statute of Limitations: Be mindful of the time limits for filing a claim; in Kansas, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit.

Our experienced team at Hutton & Hutton Law Firm, LLC is dedicated to guiding you through the complexities of your case and ensuring that you receive the compensation you deserve. Let us help you navigate this challenging time with confidence.
