The Dangers of Distracted Driving
Distracted driving involves any activity that diverts a driver’s attention from the road. This can include:
- Texting or using a smartphone
- Eating or drinking
- Adjusting the radio or GPS
- Talking to passengers
- Daydreaming or general inattention
Texting while driving is particularly dangerous, as it combines three types of distraction: visual, manual, and cognitive. Even a momentary lapse in focus can lead to devastating consequences.
Common Injuries from Distracted Driving Accidents
Victims of distracted driving accidents often sustain severe injuries, including:
- Broken bones
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Whiplash and other soft tissue injuries
- Internal injuries
- Cuts and lacerations
These injuries can result in substantial medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term pain and suffering. Pursuing compensation is essential to secure the resources needed for recovery.
Florida’s Laws on Distracted Driving
In Florida, texting while driving is illegal under the Wireless Communications While Driving Law (Florida Statute 316.305). Drivers caught texting can face fines, but these penalties often pale compared to the damage caused by distracted driving. Victims of distracted driving accidents have the right to hold the negligent driver accountable through a personal injury claim.
