What Is Distracted Driving?

Although most people think of distracted driving as simply texting and driving, it also includes the following:

• Talking on the phone
• Eating and drinking
• Putting on makeup/fixing hair in the mirror
• Taking off a sweater/changing clothes
• Reaching for an object
• Changing the radio station
• Adjusting climate controls
• Playing with the infotainment system

Any motorist may be distracted while on the road, from passenger car drivers to truck drivers, to motorcycle riders.

How Do You Prove Distracted Driving?

Since there are so many types of distracted driving, each case will be handled slightly differently. In most cases, however, a lawyer will reconstruct the accident and reach out to witnesses for their testimony. When cell phones are involved, a lawyer may also find it beneficial to obtain phone records.

If you have reason to suspect that the other driver was distracted at the time of the accident but cannot prove it, don’t wait to consult Grewal Law PLLC. We are thoroughly experienced in proving distracted driving cases, and we can go over the different ways in which we can investigate and prove your case.

Pursuing Compensation Through PIP Insurance

The state of Michigan is a no-fault state for traffic collisions. This means that, even if you are at fault, you can have your accident-related expenses covered under the other driver’s personal injury protection (PIP) insurance. At Grewal Law PLLC, we can negotiate with the no-fault insurance provider to ensure you are given the maximum coverage available.

Sadly, many accident victims suffer losses, or damages, in excess of the at-fault driver’s PIP limits. If this has happened to you, we can help you sue the at-fault driver to recover compensation. No one deserves to be stuck paying debt racked up by another person’s negligence.
