The Distracted Driving Epidemic in Dallas


With the Dallas-Fort Worth area boasting some of the busiest roads in Texas, it’s no surprise that distracted driving has become a leading cause of accidents. From texting behind the wheel to using in-car technology, distractions contribute to thousands of crashes every year.


Here are some alarming statistics:


  • In 2022, Texas saw over 94,000 distracted driving crashes, many resulting in severe injuries or fatalities.


  • The Dallas metro area consistently ranks among the top cities in Texas for traffic-related accidents, including those caused by distractions.

Can You Sue for Distracted Driving? Absolutely.


If you’ve been injured in an accident caused by a distracted driver, you have the right to pursue compensation. Distracted driving is considered negligence under Texas law, and with the help of a personal injury lawyer, you can hold the at-fault party accountable.


Here’s how we help:


  • Proving Negligence: We gather evidence like police reports, traffic camera footage, and cellphone records to show the driver’s distraction.

  • Filing a Claim for Damages: Compensation may cover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage.

  • Negotiating or Litigating: Whether through settlement discussions or courtroom representation, we fight for your best interests every step of the way.

Preventative Measures & Awareness


While it’s important to hold negligent drivers accountable, awareness and prevention are key to reducing accidents. Some tips include:


  • Put your phone on “Do Not Disturb” mode while driving.

  • Use hands-free devices sparingly.

  • Focus solely on driving—leave multitasking for later.


Dallas also has ongoing campaigns to reduce distracted driving, so stay informed and help spread the word.
