What Is Distracted Driving?
Distracted driving occurs when a motorist takes their attention off the road, even for a moment. In today’s world, that distraction is often a smartphone—but there are many forms of distraction behind the wheel.
Common forms of distracted driving include:
-
Texting or using a phone while driving
-
Eating, drinking, or adjusting the radio
-
Looking at GPS or navigation systems
-
Reaching for items in the car
-
Talking to passengers
-
Daydreaming or “zoning out”
In Idaho, texting while driving is illegal—but that doesn’t stop everyone. When distraction leads to a crash, the responsible driver can and should be held accountable.
Injuries Caused by Distracted Driving Accidents
Distracted driving accidents often happen at full speed with no attempt to brake. That means victims are frequently left with serious injuries and long recovery periods. Injuries we frequently see in these cases include:
-
Neck and back injuries (whiplash, herniated discs)
-
Broken bones and fractures
-
Head trauma and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
-
Internal bleeding and organ damage
-
Facial injuries and lacerations
-
Soft tissue injuries
-
Emotional trauma and PTSD
Whether you were a driver, passenger, pedestrian, or cyclist hit by a distracted driver, Litster Frost can help you recover the financial compensation you need to move forward.
