Driving while multitasking is an accident waiting to happen.
Distracted driving is defined by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA) as "any activity that diverts attention from driving," such as talking on your phone, texting, eating and drinking, talking to people in your car, changing the stereo channel, or fiddling with your navigation system. While there are things we all can do to drive more responsibly, it's a completely different situation when you or someone you love is an unfortunate victim of a distracted driver.
Regardless of what type of distracted driving caused the accident, you may be entitled to fair compensation if injury occurs as a result. We've rounded up a few articles in this guide to help you understand your next course of action.
