Dallas Distracted Driving Accident Attorneys
Distracted driving is a dangerous epidemic on America’s roadways, defined as any activity that diverts attention from driving. Even a glance at a text on your cell phone can be enough to negatively impact your life or that of your passengers or others on the road.
Distracted driving significantly increases the risk of causing a collision; these accidents can occur in a split second, turning your driving into a life-threatening emergency.
If you’ve been involved in a car accident with a distracted driver and suffered injuries, you are generally eligible for compensation in a personal injury claim. At Colin B. Bober and Associates, we leave no stone unturned in crafting effective claims for our clients. We understand the consequences you may face after such accidents, ranging from temporary to permanent disability, medical costs, loss of income, pain and suffering, and more.

Distracted Driving Behaviors
As mentioned above, distracted driving is any behavior that deflects attention from the task of driving.
These behaviors can include:
- Texting and using a smartphone
- Eating and drinking
- Talking to passengers, handling children or pets
- Adjusting the radio, entertainment, or navigation system
- Grooming or applying makeup
- Reading, including maps and navigation aids
- Watching videos or using social media
How Dangerous is Distracted Driving?
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, distracted driving claimed 3,522 lives in 2021. The American Public Health Association has published research suggesting that distracted driving accident fatalities have increased with the surge of texting in the U.S. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has reported that traffic crash risk is two to six times higher when drivers are distracted by cellphone usage than when they are not. This underscores the impact of smartphone use while driving on public safety.
What makes these types of accidents so dangerous is that the offending driver does not have time to react in any way, so the victim will always get the full force of the collision. Even at slower speeds, car crash victims can sustain severe injuries from whiplash to concussions, fractures, organ damage, brain injuries, and more.
These accidents can leave you and your family with spiraling medical costs, loss of income, and physical and emotional trauma that can last for weeks, months, or even years. Complicating this is that it’s often difficult to prove a person was driving distracted and thus be held accountable. These circumstances can quickly become financially dire for you and your family.

What to Do After a Distracted Driver Accident
Much like with other accidents, documentation is essential. However, with a distracted driver accident, you will need definite proof of the other driver’s distracted behavior.
Before reaching out to a personal injury lawyer, follow these steps:
- Take photos of the accident scene (lack of tire tracks from braking is an excellent way to show a driver was distracted)
- Take photos of you or your passenger’s injuries
- Collect the information of all drivers involved
- Collect witness testimonials, especially from people who can confirm that the driver was distracted during the accident.
