Schedule a Free ConsultationWhat Is Distracted Driving?
Any time a driver is not paying attention to the road or the operation of their vehicle, they are driving distracted. Distracted driving is dangerous driving, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that distracted driving accidents claimed over 3,300 lives in 2022 alone.
Anything can be a distraction, from eating to adjusting the stereo to checking on children in the back seat. Cell phones are one of the most common sources of distraction, which is why many states, including California, have hands-free laws.
According to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), the law prohibits drivers aged 18 and over from talking or texting on a handheld device. They may only engage with their phones using speakerphone or voice commands. Drivers under 18 may not use cell phones in any manner, even hands-free.
If a driver’s distraction causes a crash, our Temecula distracted driving accident lawyers can hold them liable for your injuries.
How We Prove Liability for a Distracted Driving Accident
Another driver is liable for your crash if their negligent actions led to the collision. Distracted driving is negligent because it violates a driver’s duty to drive safely. Inattention can cause drivers to:
- Speed
- Make improper turns
- Run red lights or stop signs
- Rear-end a leading vehicle
- Travel into the wrong lane
- Cut another driver off while passing
Our Temecula distracted driving accident attorneys can prove liability using evidence. Our legal team can interview eyewitnesses, obtain medical records and the accident report from the Temecula Police Department, and gather evidence from the accident scene, including photos, videos, and crash debris. When needed, we can enlist help from relevant case experts, such as accident reconstructionists, economists, and medical professionals.

Schedule NowWhat Is the Statute of Limitations for a Car Accident in Temecula?
According to CCP § 335.1, you have two years to file most personal injury lawsuits in California. If you do not pursue your car accident case before the statute of limitations runs out, the court will likely bar you from suing. This deadline will also affect insurance claims because it significantly reduces your bargaining power if you cannot take legal action.
