Injured by a Distracted Driver?


According to the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, NHTSA, 2,841 people were killed in 2018 alone due to car accidents stemming from distracted drivers. 52 of those killed by distracted drivers were residents of Ohio. Every death caused by distracted driving is preventable. 

Using a cell phone while driving is one of the biggest culprits of distracted driving, along with anything else that takes your eyes and mind off the road, even for a split second. Distracted driving diverts attention away from driving, and when traveling at 55 mph, you will travel the length of a football field in less than 5 seconds. 

Consider closing your eyes for 5 seconds while driving, that is the danger of distracted driving which can be caused by many factors including:

  • Talking or texting while driving
  • Eating or drinking
  • Talking to other vehicle passengers
  • Adjusting the radio or entertainment system
  • Using GPS navigation systems while driving

Any activity that is not related to driving is a potential distraction that increases your risk of an automobile accident.
