Any Type of Distraction Can Cause a Savannah Traffic Accident
Distracted driving is incredibly dangerous. Distractions cause drivers to make careless and reckless mistakes, leading to accidents. They may run red lights, fail to yield in an intersection, cross over the centerline, or fail to stop in traffic because their full attention is not on the road.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, anything that takes your eyes or mind off the road or hands off the wheel while driving is a distraction. These distractions may include:
- Texting
- Talking on your phone
- Eating or drinking
- Minding children or pets
- Talking with others in the car
- Changing the radio or stereo
- Adjusting the entertainment or navigation system
Georgia has had a hands-free law in place since July 1, 2018. According to the Georgia Department of Driver Services, this law prohibits drivers on all roads in Georgia from:
- Holding a phone or other electronic device
- Supporting a phone or other device with another part of the body
- Writing, sending or reading written communication on a phone or other device, including texts, emails, social media, and more
- Watching, recording, or broadcasting video
While distracted driving is illegal, this does not stop all drivers. If you suffered injuries in an accident you believe involved a distracted driver, contact Bader Scott Injury Lawyers today. We will review the merits of your case and may be able to go to work for you quickly.

You Have a Limited Time To Act
Georgia’s statute of limitations on personal injury accidents, O.C.G.A § 9-3-33, is set at two years. If we do not negotiate an out-of-court settlement within a reasonable time with the insurance company representing the distracted driver, we may need to consider whether we should file a personal injury lawsuit in your case.
If we pursue legal action, we have two years from the day your injuries occurred to file the paperwork. This time is not as long as it may seem. It is imperative that we make this decision and do so before the deadline arrives. Missing this time limit will likely cause you to lose the right to take action.
