The Dangers of Distracted Driving on Valentine’s Day: How to Stay Safe and What to Do If You’re Hit

Valentine’s Day means more cars on the road, more dinner reservations, and unfortunately, more distracted drivers. From texting loved ones to using GPS for dinner plans, distractions increase the risk of accidents. It only takes a split second for an inattentive driver to run a red light, swerve into another lane, or rear-end another vehicle.

If you’re hit by a distracted driver, proving negligence is key to your personal injury claim. Gather evidence such as witness statements, photos, and police reports to show the other driver’s inattention caused the accident. If their phone usage contributed to the crash, phone records may be used as evidence in your case.

Distracted driving accidents can lead to severe injuries and financial burdens.

Victims often require extensive medical treatment, physical therapy, or even long-term care. Don’t bear the burden of an accident that wasn’t your fault—an experienced lawyer can help you recover maximum compensation.
