Often, the first thing people think of when they consider what caused a distracted driving accident is cell phone use, whether talking, texting, or other activities. Using your phone while driving is extremely dangerous and a leading cause of distracted driving accidents. However, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), distracted driving accidents can also occur because of numerous other distractions that include:

  • Lighting, smoking, or putting out a cigarette or other similar product
  • Unrestrained pets
  • Insects or other distractions in the car
  • Adjusting mirrors, seatbelts, audio, or climate control
  • Eating and drinking behind the wheel
  • Applying makeup or otherwise grooming oneself
  • Reaching for an item on the floorboard or passenger seat
  • Other occupants, often children in the back seat
  • People, objects, and events outside the vehicle
  • Cognitive distractions that occur inside the driver’s head

At Bressman Law, we know how to build a case around any of these types of distractions. To get started, reach out to us today by calling (614) 538-1116 for a free review of your case.
