That\u2019s why distracted driving is one of the leading causes of serious auto accidents. If you&#8217;ve been injured by someone who wasn&#8217;t paying attention behind the wheel, you may be entitled to compensation.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ray Maples<\/strong> is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapleslawokc.com\/auto-accidents.html\">car accident lawyer in OKC<\/a> at <strong>Maples Injury Law<\/strong>, where he helps car crash victims across Oklahoma City pursue justice after a serious collision. With more than 25 years of experience, Ray understands how to investigate accidents and build a strong personal injury case.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Distracted Driving?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Distracted driving<\/strong> refers to any activity that diverts a driver\u2019s attention from the road. This includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Texting or using a smartphone<\/li>\n<li>Eating or drinking<\/li>\n<li>Adjusting a GPS or radio<\/li>\n<li>Talking to passengers<\/li>\n<li>Reaching for items inside the car<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Texting while driving is particularly dangerous because it involves all three types of distraction: visual, manual, and cognitive. Reading a short message can take a driver\u2019s eyes off the road for 5 seconds, which is enough time to travel the length of a football field at 55 mph.<\/p>\n<h2>Distracted Driving Laws in Oklahoma City<\/h2>\n<p>Oklahoma law prohibits texting and driving under Title 47 O.S. \u00a7 11<strong>&#8211;<\/strong>901c. Here\u2019s what you should know:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Texting while driving is illegal for all drivers in Oklahoma.<\/li>\n<li>The law bans reading, writing, or sending text messages while operating a motor vehicle.<\/li>\n<li>The fine for violating this law is $100, but criminal penalties may increase if texting results in serious injury or death.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The law does allow exceptions for drivers using hands-free voice-to-text features or contacting emergency services.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Prove a Driver Was Distracted<\/h2>\n<p>Proving distracted driving liability in court or during negotiations with an insurance carrier requires a thorough investigation. Insurance companies rarely admit their driver was at fault without hard evidence; that\u2019s where an experienced car accident attorney can make a big difference.<\/p>\n<p>At <strong>Maples Injury Law<\/strong>, we build strong cases using a variety of legal tools and investigative methods.<\/p>\n<h3>Phone Records<\/h3>\n<p>If we suspect the other driver was texting or using an app at the time of the crash, we can retrieve their cell phone records. This data can reveal:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Texts sent or received around the time of the crash<\/li>\n<li>Phone calls in progress<\/li>\n<li>Use of apps like social media, navigation, or streaming<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Courts typically require a formal discovery process to obtain this data, which is why having an attorney involved early in your case can be so important.<\/p>\n<h3>Dashcam and Surveillance Footage<\/h3>\n<p>Dashcam footage from your vehicle or another car nearby may capture the moment of distraction, such as a driver looking down at their lap or holding a phone. Businesses with exterior cameras or city traffic cams may also provide key video evidence.<\/p>\n<h3>Eyewitness Statements<\/h3>\n<p>Bystanders or passengers may have seen the other driver texting, eating, or looking away from the road. Their statements can provide important third-party confirmation of distracted behavior.<\/p>\n<h3>Accident Reconstruction<\/h3>\n<p>We may work with accident reconstruction experts to analyze the scene, vehicle damage, and timing to determine how the distraction contributed to the crash. These experts use physics and data to support your claim.<\/p>\n<h2>How Oklahoma\u2019s Comparative Negligence Law Affects Your Case<\/h2>\n<p>Oklahoma follows a <strong>modified comparative negligence<\/strong> rule under Title 23 O.S. \u00a7 13. That means you can recover compensation as long as you were less than 51% at fault for the crash. But your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if your damages total $100,000 and you\u2019re found 20% at fault, your final compensation would be $80,000.<\/p>\n<p>This rule makes it extremely important to establish that the other driver\u2019s distraction was the primary cause of the crash<strong>.<\/strong> If the insurance company tries to argue that you were mostly to blame, it could threaten your recovery.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Do After a Distracted Driving Injury<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been involved in an accident and your suspect the other driver was distracted, take the following steps to protect your rights:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Call 911 and report the crash.<\/strong> Let the officer know if you observed any distracted behavior (like texting or swerving).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Document the scene.<\/strong> Take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, injuries, and anything that might indicate distraction (e.g., a phone in the driver\u2019s hand or lap).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get witness contact information.<\/strong> Their testimony may be vital later.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seek medical treatment immediately.<\/strong> Some injuries may not be obvious at first but could worsen without care.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid discussing fault <\/strong>with other drivers or an insurance agent.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contact an<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapleslawokc.com\/distracted-driving.html\">Oklahoma City distracted driving accident attorney<\/a> who has experience with distracted driver injury claims.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Why You Need a Lawyer<\/h2>\n<p>Distracted driving claims can be tough to prove, and that\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to have the right attorney in your corner.
