How We Prove the Other Driver Was Distracted
Winning distracted driving cases requires swift evidence collection. Our investigators act within hours to preserve critical proof before it's lost forever.
Cell Phone Records Subpoena
We subpoena the at-fault driver's cell phone records to prove they were texting, calling, or using apps at the exact moment of the crash.
Dashcam & Traffic Camera Footage
We locate and preserve video evidence from your dashcam, traffic cameras, nearby businesses, and other vehicles that captured the crash.
Accident Reconstruction
Our expert accident reconstructionists analyze skid marks, impact points, and vehicle data to prove the driver failed to brake or react.
Witness Statements
Witnesses often see drivers looking down at phones before crashes. We interview and document all eyewitness accounts immediately.
Vehicle Data Download
Modern vehicles record speed, braking, and steering inputs. This "black box" data proves the driver wasn't paying attention.
Social Media & App Data
We investigate if the driver was posting, streaming, or using apps at the time of the crash through digital forensics.

Distracted Driving & Negligence Laws
In most states, texting while driving is illegal, which means violating the law can automatically establish negligence. This is called "negligence per se" and significantly strengthens your case.
Even in comparative fault states where you might share some blame, proving the other driver was distracted by their phone can overcome defenses and maximize your recovery. Our attorneys understand these nuances and build cases accordingly.
