Cell Phones Are Contributing to the Rise of Distracted Driving, says Personal Injury Attorney

August 25, 2017 – – San Diego, CA – San Diego personal injury attorney Brett Geruntino, Esq. notes a connection between the rise of cases of distracted driving and the ubiquity of cell phone usage. Despite warnings and legal ramifications, many people are still using their phones while driving and if they are injured by a distracted driver they are owed a settlement.

According to the Auto Alliance, there are three different forms of distracted driving: manual, visual, and cognitive and any of these factors could cause another party to be held responsible in the case of an accident. Cell phones can cause an accident by leading to all three forms of distracted driving.

Texting, talking, or otherwise using a cell phone while on the road causes the driver to remove at least one hand from the wheel to use the phone, momentarily diverts their vision from the road to the phone screen, and at least partially causes the driver to split their attention from the task of driving to the conversation on the phone.

While cell phone usage is currently the most common cause of distracted driving, there are other causes including simply having a conversation with another passenger. For those whom distracted driving may have contributed to an injury, call a personal injury attorney in San Diego for a fee consultation.
