Despite laws against texting and public awareness campaigns, distracted driving continues to injure and kill people across Texas. Distracted driving was a contributing factor in over 91,000 wrecks in the state in 2024, causing more than 370 fatalities. In fact, distracted driving was the second-highest contributing factor in 2024 accidents.
Although Texas distracted driving laws focus on hands-on cell phone use, drivers engage in other forms of distraction that can be just as dangerous. A distraction does not have to be illegal to be negligent. Another driver’s negligence can give you the grounds you need to seek compensation if a distracted driving accident injured you.
