Types of Distracted Driving Habits That Lead to Accidents
Sadly, many people do not pay attention to the road and cause terrible crashes. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), distracted driving caused over 3,208 traffic deaths in 2024.
Distracted driving happens anytime a driver takes their eyes off the road, their hands off the wheel, or their mind off of driving. As your distracted driving accident lawyer, we investigate the crash to find out exactly what the other driver was doing wrong.
Common types of distracted driving include:
- Texting or reading emails
- Talking on the phone
- Eating or drinking
- Looking at a GPS or map
- Adjusting the radio or music player
- Talking to other people in the car
- Looking at things outside the window instead of the road

Damages Available to Distracted Driving Accident Victims
Being hurt in a car crash causes a lot of pain and stress. On top of that, you are probably very worried about how you will pay your bills when you cannot work. Our goal is to get you the maximum settlement check or verdict possible. We will demand compensation for all the ways this accident has harmed your life.
Damages available to you can include:
- Medical Expenses: Money to pay for your ambulance ride, hospital stays, surgeries, doctor visits, physical therapy, and medications. We also fight for money to cover the medical care you will need in the future.
- Lost Wages: Money to replace the paychecks you missed while you were out of work healing. If your injuries stop you from ever going back to your old job, we will fight for your future lost earnings.
- Pain and Suffering: Money to compensate you for the physical pain and emotional trauma you went through because of the crash.
- Property Damage: Money to fix or replace your totaled car and any other items broken in the wreck.
- Wrongful Death Expenses: If your family member was killed by a distracted driver, we can seek money for funeral costs, burial expenses, the loss of financial support, and the emotional toll this loss has taken on you.

FAQs for Our Distracted Driving Accident Lawyers
What should I do right after a car crash?
- Call 911. This will dispatch police to the scene to create an official accident report. Be sure to tell the officer if you saw the other driver on their phone.
- Seek immediate medical attention. Even if you feel fine, some serious injuries can take days to appear. A medical professional can assess your condition.
- Gather evidence. If possible, take photos of the vehicles and the accident scene. Get the names and contact information of any witnesses.
- Contact DM Injury Law. Before you speak with the other driver's insurance company, call us. We will protect your rights and ensure you are not taken advantage of.
How much does it cost to hire your law firm?
It costs you nothing out of pocket. We offer free consultations. We work on a contingency fee, which means we only get paid a percentage of the money if we win your case. If we do not win, you owe us nothing.
What if the insurance company offers me a check right away?
Do not accept their first offer, and do not sign anything without talking to a lawyer first. Insurance companies want to save money. Their first offer is usually a "lowball" amount that will not cover all your medical bills. Let us review the offer for free.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Every state has a strict time limit called the statute of limitations. If you miss this deadline, you will not be allowed to get any money at all. The deadlines are different in every state:
- Missouri: 5 years
- Kansas: 2 years
- Oklahoma: 2 years
- Illinois: 2 years
- Colorado: 2 years
- Nebraska: 4 years
