Pasadena Distracted Driving Accident Attorney
Distracted Driving Accidents in Pasadena
Driver distraction refers to anything that takes the driver's attention away from the primary task of navigating the vehicle. Driver distraction would be anything that takes your eyes or mind off the road or your hands off the wheel. These three elements of driver distraction are classified as visual, cognitive, and manual distraction.
There are countless tasks that would land in more than one category of distraction such as eating (visual and manual), or reading a book (visual, cognitive and manual). According to the National Highway Traffic Association, driver distraction contributes to between 20 and 30% of all crashes, which could have been entirely prevented if the driver was driving more responsibly.

The problem with distracted driving is that certain tasks require a significant amount of attention from the driver, not only that, but the real concern is the frequency of which drivers choose to multitask. In order to drive safely, it's important for drivers to give priority attention to the task of driving. In fact, even a momentary distraction can lead to a collision, potentially causing serious injuries to the driver, any passengers, and others in their environment.
