What Is Distracted Driving?
According to the National Safety Council, an alarming 26% of accidents are caused by cell phone use. In the United States, 46 states, including Georgia, have laws prohibiting texting while driving. Any time drivers divert their full attention from the road to check a cell phone, adjust the radio, or even talk to a passenger, that’s distracted driving. And if an accident occurs as a result, a case can be made against the driver, and victims can seek compensation.
