What Is Considered "Distracted Driving?"

Distracted driving is any activity that diverts a driver's attention away from the road. Common causes of distracted driving accidents include:

• Texting and driving
• Talking on the phone
• Eating and drinking
• Reading a map
• Using a navigation system
• Grooming
• Using a video or computer game
• Using a touchscreen

In some cases, drivers become distracted by a passenger in the vehicle or by a child in the backseat. Other drivers become distracted by a pet in the vehicle.

In all cases of distracted driving, the driver's attention is diverted from the road. This causes a lapse in attention that can lead to an accident. In some cases, the driver may not even realize they are distracted until it is too late.

Who Can Be Held Liable?
