Proving Fault for the Accident

The first step in filing a car accident claim in states like Georgia that follow tort-based systems is proving fault for the crash. You must prove that another person or party is liable for your damages by establishing fault, and in distracted driving cases, this typically means identifying the type of distraction that occurred.

There are three main categories of driving distractions:

Visual Distractions: Visual distractions are any actions that cause the driver to take his or her eyes off the road. Examples include looking at a cell phone, billboard, accident, or objects along the roadway, as well as glancing down at the radio or a GPS device.
Manual Distractions: These include any actions that cause the driver to remove one or both hands from the steering wheel. Examples of manual distractions include eating or drinking while driving, adjusting temperature controls, and reaching for an item that has fallen.
Cognitive Distractions: Cognitive distractions are those that cause the driver to take his or her mind off the task of driving. Some common examples of cognitive distractions include talking to passengers in the vehicle, daydreaming, and “highway hypnosis.”

Although driving distractions are categorized in these three separate ways, most can be classified as more than one of the above categories. For example, texting while driving involves all three types of distractions—the driver’s eyes are off the road and on a device, the driver has at least one hand off the steering wheel to hold the device and/or type a text message, and the driver’s attention is on the content of the text, not the road ahead.

How an Attorney Can Help

Proving that another motorist was distracted and that this was the cause of the crash that left you injured can be extremely difficult. However, it is critical to the success of your claim. When you work with a distracted driving accident attorney in Marietta, you can focus on getting the medical treatment you need and managing day-to-day expenses while your lawyer handles the legal details of your case.

At The Roth Firm, LLC, we understand the challenges involved in providing distracted driving. Our attorneys conduct exhaustive investigations, working alongside accident reconstructionists and expert investigators, to gather evidence of the other driver’s negligence. This may include evaluating the other driver’s cell phone records, reviewing nearby security footage, talking to witnesses, and more.

We realize that distracted driving accidents often result in devastating rear-end, head-on, and side-impact collisions. These types of crashes frequently lead to severe, life-threatening injuries, including spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, whiplash, and more.

We believe that you shouldn’t have to simply deal with the consequences of another driver’s negligence, which is why we fight for maximum compensation for your damages, including but not limited to your:

Medical bills
Hospital/ambulance fees
Future medical expenses
Medications
Pain and suffering
Lost income/wages
Future lost earnings
Lost earning capacity due to disability
Home modifications
In-home care
Counseling services/therapy costs

We have a proven record of success in helping seriously injured clients in Georgia get back on their feet and recover the maximum compensation they are owed. We invite you to reach out to our firm today to learn how we can help you too during a free, no-obligation consultation.
