Cottrell Law Office Highlights the Importance of Having a Car Accident Lawyer in Missouri for Distracted Driving Accidents

Joplin, Missouri- September 3, 2024 - Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of car accidents in Missouri, often resulting in severe injuries and significant financial burdens for victims.

Distracted driving is becoming a major concern for highway safety all over the U.S. As the use of cell phones has increased, so has the number of auto accidents involving distracted drivers. In 2013, more than 3,000 people were killed as a result of distracted drivers. Although the campaign to stop texting and driving is in full swing, cell phone use is not the only form of distracted driving.
Distracted driving can take many forms, from texting while driving to adjusting a car's navigation system or even eating behind the wheel. These seemingly minor distractions can lead to devastating accidents. In the aftermath, victims often face medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress. However, proving that a driver was distracted at the time of the accident can be challenging, requiring a thorough investigation and a deep understanding of Missouri's traffic laws.
