Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of serious car accidents in Alabama and across the Florida Panhandle. A momentary glance at a phone or other distraction can change lives forever.

 

At Davidson Law Firm LLC, C. Brian Davidson, an experienced Alabama and Florida personal injury lawyer since 1998, helps crash victims hold these distracted and negligent drivers accountable and recover the compensation they deserve for their injuries and losses.

 

What Counts as Distracted Driving?

 

Distracted driving is more than just texting behind the wheel. In our personal injury litigation Alabama cases, we’ve seen accidents from Huntsville, Birmingham, Shelby County, Montgomery, Dothan and down to Mobile as well as across Florida Panhandle from Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Panama City Beach, to Port St. Joe caused by:

• Cell phone calls, texting, and app use even if "hands free"

• Eating or drinking while driving

• Adjusting the radio or navigation system

• Talking to passengers

• Reaching for items in the back seat

• Daydreaming or “zoning out”

When these behaviors lead to car crashes or pedestrians get hit, victims often need the help of a Birmingham, Alabama personal injury law firm or Panama City, Florida accident lawyer to navigate the complex legal process.

 

What are Common Injuries from Distracted Driving Crashes?

 

Victims of distracted driving accidents can suffer:

• Whiplash and other neck injuries

• Back and spinal cord injuries

• Broken bones and fractures

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)

• Fatal injuries handled by our wrongful death attorney Alabama team

Our firm also assists with related claims, as  workers compensation lawyer in areas like Shelby County cases when the crash happens on the job, or as an Alabama dram shop injury attorney for claims if alcohol was involved.

 

How Does Alabama Law Address Distracted Driving?

 

Alabama law bans texting while driving and places additional restrictions on young drivers. Even if the at-fault driver wasn’t ticketed, you may still have a strong case for compensation. An experienced Alabama and Florida civil litigation counsel or trial lawyer who speaks plainly can explain how distracted driving evidence — such as phone records or witness statements — can strengthen your claim.
