Common Causes of Distracted Driving in New Jersey

We have all probably felt the impulse to answer a text or check our social media accounts while stuck in traffic or waiting at a red light. But safe drivers know to control the urge. Unfortunately, not everyone has the insight to realize they are putting other lives at risk when giving into distractions while driving.

Our Union County car accident lawyers have seen distracted driving cases involving drivers who caused car accidents while:

• • Changing the song on the radio, cell phone, or music player

• • Brushing hair or putting on makeup

• • Eating

• • Talking on the phone

• • Text messaging

• • Posting to a social media account, such as Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram

• • Taking a photograph

• • Talking to other passengers in the car

If you were injured because of a distracted driver, we use all the evidence available to prove their negligence. We may be able to obtain their cell phone records to see if any texts or calls were made before or during the crash.

We can check their social media accounts to verify their recent activity. Your Union County, NJ  auto accident lawyer talks to all witnesses, examines the accident scene, and launches a full-scale investigation to ascertain all evidence of negligence on behalf of the other driver.
