Distracted Driving Accident Attorney in Tampa, FL

Shocking Distracted Driver Statistics

While on the road, drivers have a responsibility to try to prevent accidents and harm to other motorists and passengers by following traffic laws and staying alert. The situation on the road can change in a matter of seconds, as a child or animal can run into the street, traffic can come to a sudden standstill, something can fall out of the back of a vehicle, and street lights can change. NHTSA reports that 18% of injury crashes in 2010 involved distracted drivers, and that 11% of drivers under the age of twenty who were involved in fatal accidents were distracted at the time of the collision.

Using a hand-held device while on the road makes a driver 4 times more likely to be involved in a serious injury crash, and texting while driving increases a driver's crash risk 23 times more than if they were not distracted. Perhaps one of the most alarming facts is that while only driving at 55 miles per hour, a driver's vehicle can cover the entire length of a football field in just 4.6 seconds, which is the average amount of time a person's eyes are taken from the road while sending or receiving a text message.
