In this age of technology, distracted driving has become almost as great a menace on the roadways as drunk driving. Drivers who are texting or otherwise distracted are not focused on the task of operating the motor vehicle, and they cause accidents as a result. If you have been injured by a distracted driver, contact The Janda Law Firm today for dedicated legal representation from our Las Vegas distracted driving lawyer.
As defined by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), distracted driving is any activity that diverts the driver’s attention away from operating the vehicle. Texting is the most alarming distraction, as it requires manual, visual, and cognitive attention. Sending or reading a text takes the driver’s eyes off the road for five seconds at a time, equivalent to driving the length of a football field with the eyes closed.
