- Cognitive distractions – These are distractions that cause the driver’s mind to wander away from driving. Their full attention is not on driving. For example, kids make a fuss in the back seat of a car.

When seeking compensation after a car accident, you will most likely be contacted by an insurance adjuster from the insurance company representing the at-fault party. It is important to avoid talking to the insurance adjuster until you have spoken to an experienced attorney. Insurance companies don’t represent your interests. The insurance adjuster is therefore not on your side. Their primary goal is to minimize the insurance company’s losses. If you make any mistakes while speaking with the insurance adjuster, they will use this to deny your claim or offer a lower amount as a settlement.
Work with an experienced distracted driving accident attorney in Philadelphia, PA from our law firm. We will handle all aspects of the accident claim including communicating with the insurance adjuster. We will fight to recover full compensation on your behalf.

Proving distracted driving can be challenging, but an experienced attorney can use several forms of evidence to build a strong claim. This may include cell phone records, traffic camera or dashcam footage, eyewitness statements, accident reconstruction reports, and testimony from experts. In some cases, the at-fault driver may admit to being distracted in statements made to police or insurers. Our legal team knows how to obtain and analyze this evidence to establish that distraction directly contributed to your accident and injuries.
-
Yes. Pennsylvania has a statewide ban on texting while driving. This includes sending, reading, or writing text messages or emails while operating a vehicle. Although other distracting behaviors—such as talking to passengers or adjusting the radio—may not be illegal, they can still make a driver liable if those distractions cause an accident. If you suspect the at-fault driver was texting or otherwise distracted, our team can investigate and help you hold them accountable.
