Distracted driving is on the rise, and distracted drivers are among the most dangerous drivers out there. Being inattentive to the road ahead increases the likelihood of a dangerous accident occurring. If another driver’s distraction leaves you injured, don’t put off consulting with an experienced Atlanta car accident attorney.
Common Distractions
While drivers can be distracted by just about anything, some of the most common distractions include:
- Making phone calls
- Having conversations with the car’s occupants
- Eating or drinking behind the wheel
- Fiddling with the radio or GPS
- Paying attention to distractions on the road itself, such as billboards and other nonessential matters
One of the most prevalent and most dangerous distractions of all, however, is texting behind the wheel. When a driver takes it upon themselves to compose or read a text, it translates to driving distracted for about the length of a football field (when traveling at highway speeds), and this is just as dangerous as you imagine.

The surest way to help protect your car accident claim is by consulting early on with a dedicated car accident attorney.
Should I settle with the insurance company?
If the insurance company makes a reasonable settlement offer that adequately reflects the damages you’ve incurred, your attorney will likely advise you to settle. If not, ongoing negotiations are likely in order, and if the insurance company refuses to negotiate fairly, you may need to file a lawsuit.
