Distracted Driving Car Accidents in Los Angeles

Although car crashes happen for many reasons, they most frequently occur due to a driver’s mistakes, such as failing to give full attention to their driving duties. Distracted driving car accidents in Los Angeles are entirely preventable. When a driver crashes their car while focused elsewhere and causes injuries to other drivers, pedestrians, or bikers, the injured people should have the right to sue the distracted driver for financial compensation for the losses they suffered.

Our team of experienced auto accident attorneys at My Guy Cy can help you fight for the justice you need and deserve after a collision with a distracted driver.

Common Types of Distracted Driving

Motorists are supposed to pay close attention to the road and what is occurring around them. Unfortunately, distractions occurring both inside and outside the car can cause a driver to lose focus or control of their vehicle.

Some of the most common types of distracted driving that can lead to devastating consequences include:

• Texting or otherwise using a hand-held cell phone
• Bending to pick up a dropped item
• Trying to talk to or comfort children in the back seat
• Attempting to read directions on a map or GPS
• Changing the radio station
• Looking at something outside, such as a billboard, building, or an accident on the other side of a highway
• Putting on makeup or brushing hair
• Eating or drinking

Our highly-trained lawyers have successfully helped people in Los Angeles recover damages against drivers who were engaged in a variety of distractions that led to car collisions. We know how to perform comprehensive investigations to:

• Learn what led to the crash
• Identify the at-fault driver
• Search for the visual, mental, or manual distraction that took the driver’s attention away from their driving duties

To prove the driver’s liability, our attorneys can also review any available surveillance footage and interview witnesses to learn if someone noticed the driver talking on the phone or looking away from the road.

Recoverable Damages After a Distracted Driving Crash

Distracted driving collisions frequently lead to serious accidents in Los Angeles because the at-fault driver is unable to react appropriately to the situation. These crashes often occur at high speeds and when a driver fails to see a red light or when the car in front of them has slowed to a stop.

By working aggressively to maximize the chances of a full recovery, our dedicated legal team can help you claim different types of compensation.

Medical Expenses

Distracted driving can cause devastating injuries, requiring a great deal of medical care. If you have been injured, you can pursue damages for your past, current, and future costs relating to the accident—such as ambulance fees, hospital stays, follow-up visits, prescriptions, surgeries, and physical therapy.

Work-Related Losses

If the accident leads to time off work, you can claim lost wages and benefits. If your injuries prevent you from returning to work, our lawyers can also fight for future lost earning expenses.

Intangible Losses

Distracted driving crashes can have profound emotional effects. Our compassionate attorneys can help you fight for damages to cover your pain, suffering, mental anguish, and other psychological impacts to ensure you have financial stability.
