What Evidence is Needed to Prove a Distracted Driving Claim?

Each year, there are over six million car accidents reported. With so many car accidents occurring, you may be wondering what causes so many of these damaging accidents in the first place. Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of car accidents in California. If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident caused by a distracted driver, you deserve to be compensated for the losses you have suffered as a result.

Younglove Law Group is a team of skilled car accident lawyers with experience helping clients who have been hit by distracted and negligent drivers. It is important to know what evidence is needed to prove a distracted driving claim.

What Evidence Do You Need for a Distracted Driving Claim?

It can be difficult to prove that your accident was caused as a result of a distracted driver. However, the following evidence can help build a strong claim as you pursue the justice you are owed.

Phone Records

If you saw the driver who hit you on their phone making a call or texting, obtaining phone records may be the best way to prove that. Your car accident attorney may be able to petition to obtain the at-fault driver’s phone records if it will help your claim.

Eyewitness Statements

Having an eyewitness account of what occurred at the accident scene can be crucial evidence when trying to prove that the at-fault driver was distracted when they caused the accident.

Physical Evidence

If the distracted driver was not utilizing a cell phone at the time of the crash, there may be physical evidence of other distractions that may have caused the accident. Some other distractions include:

  • Putting on makeup
  • Drinking or eating
  • Looking for an item on the floor or in the console
  • Looking in a purse
  • Turning around to speak to a passenger in the back of the car

What Damages Are You Eligible for from a Distracted Driving Claim?

After being hit by a distracted driver, you may be owed financial compensation for the losses you have suffered as a result of their negligence. The damages that you may be eligible to collect include:

  • Property damage
  • Lost wages
  • Lost earning potential
  • Medical expenses
  • Pain and suffering

If you are unsure of what damages you may be eligible to collect, a knowledgeable California personal injury lawyer may be able to help by going over the details of your claim.
