According to the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles, there are three primary types of distractions that can occur while driving:
Texting or using a cell phone while driving are widely considered the most dangerous forms of distracted driving because they incorporate all three forms of distraction.
In addition to texting and cell phone use, other types of distracted driving activities include:
In Las Vegas, there is no shortage of roadside distractions, from the glitz of the Vegas Strip to the expansive views of the Mojave Desert. However, drivers have a legal obligation to keep their eyes on the road to keep motorists and pedestrians safe. When they fail to do so, they can be held liable for their negligence if they hit and injure someone else.
Distracted driving accidents are alarmingly frequent. The most current statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show that 2,841 Americans were killed in distracted driving accidents in recent years. Of that number:
Mobile devices remain the most serious threat. A NHTSA survey found that 77 percent of Americans said they talked on a cell phone at least some of the time while driving.
Additional facts about distracted driving underscore just how dangerous it can be:
While this data is disturbing on its own, researchers suspect that distracted driving plays a role in more crashes than the figures tell. That’s because it can be difficult to determine whether drivers were distracted at the time of the wreck unless they admit it or there is visual proof or witness statements to support the claim.
At THE702FIRM Injury Attorneys, our distracted driving lawyers will demand maximum compensation for all of your physical, financial, and emotional losses. In Nevada, accident victims can be awarded compensation for damages included but not limited to:
When you file a claim, it will go to the at-fault driver’s insurance company. An adjuster will be assigned to investigate your case and determine an initial settlement amount. Keep in mind that the offer will always be lower than what you truly deserve. The best way to learn what your claim is worth is by working with a knowledgeable car accident attorney.
A distracted driving lawyer will know how to put a value on your claim by looking at the facts, the damages, and how cases similar to yours have settled in the past. This will help prevent insurers from getting away with lowball settlement offers that won’t meet your current and future needs.
The key to winning a distracted driving claim is proving that the other driver was at fault for the accident. This is called proving negligence.
There are four elements to a negligence case:
Distracted driving is certainly a negligent action. But these cases aren’t always simple to prove. That’s why you should reach out to a distracted driving lawyer as soon as possible after the wreck. An attorney will be able to gather the necessary evidence to show why you deserve full and fair compensation from the at-fault driver.
Texting is one of the most common forms of distracted driving. If you were hit by a driver who was texting at the time of the crash, there are several ways to prove it:
If you decide to file a claim after being hit by a distracted driver, make sure to do it quickly. In Nevada, you only have two years to file a distracted driving claim. While that may seem like a long time, it’s best to act quickly to prevent valuable evidence from being lost, destroyed, or erased.
