Question:

Is a distracted driver automatically liable for a car accident?

Answer:

We’re starting to see more and more distracted drivers. This is primarily a result of everybody with cell phones, and not paying attention to the road, whether that’s through a GPS or a text message. We’ve seen things as egregious as people watching YouTube videos while they’re driving. If somebody has been involved in a car crash and the other driver was a distracted driver, that’s something that we look into. There are ways to obtain phone records and phone logs to determine if that individual indeed was distracted by their device. That is something that plays into your claim.
