What Makes Distracted Driving Cases Different from Regular Car Accident Cases
Driving carries serious responsibility. When a driver allows themselves to become distracted, they put everyone around them at risk of a devastating crash in an instant. Even the most alert and cautious driver on the road may have no way to predict or avoid a distracted driver who runs a red light or drifts into an adjacent lane.
There are three types of distraction that can affect a driver behind the wheel:
- Mental: Thinking about something other than the act of driving.
- Manual: Taking hands off the steering wheel for any significant period of time.
- Visual: Looking at anything other than the road and the vehicle’s mirrors.
Texting while driving is particularly dangerous because it engages all three types of distraction at the same time. Both the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have gathered data suggesting that distracted driving is every bit as dangerous as driving under the influence.

Understanding Your Rights After a Distracted Driving Accident
Many people who are hurt in distracted driving accidents don’t realize the full scope of what they may be entitled to. Beyond medical expenses, you may have the right to seek compensation for lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. At Bretz Injury Law, we make sure every client understands their options before making any decisions about their case.
A few key points worth knowing:
- Negligence Claim: If the other driver was distracted and caused the accident, you may have a strong negligence claim against them.
- Insurance Coverage: Understanding your own policy, including any uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, can play an important role in your recovery.
- Document Everything: Keeping detailed records of your medical treatment, expenses, and any correspondence related to your accident can significantly strengthen your case.
- Statute of Limitations: Kansas gives most accident victims two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing that deadline can cost you the right to pursue compensation entirely.
Matthew Bretz and his team are committed to walking you through every aspect of your case so you have a clear picture of where you stand and what your options are.
