Price & Randle

A distracted driving accident can occur any time that a driver takes his hands off the steering wheel, takes his eyes off the road, or diverts his attention from driving safely. While cell phones are a common cause of distracted driving accidents, and are included in our list of top distracted driving causes, it is important to note that they are not the only cause of distracted driving wrecks.
