Car Accident Attorney in Los Angeles

Car Accidents Caused by Distracted Drivers

When a driver is distracted, his or her attention is on something other than the road, traffic flow and traffic signals. Driving requires a driver's full attention if he or she is to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. This includes three key elements: visual attention, mental attention and the driver's hands and feet in the proper positions to drive the vehicle. If one of these is absent, an accident is likely to occur.

Distracted Driving and Los Angeles Car Accidents

Distracted driving takes on many forms: talking on the phone, texting while driving, eating, drinking, smoking, lighting a cigarette, talking to a passenger, looking at an in-vehicle navigation system, and even shaving or applying make-up. If you drive a lot, you probably see other drivers doing these things all the time. They are dangerous and place everyone on the road at risk.
