St. Louis Distracted Driving Lawyers
Distracted driving is a serious issue, and it happens when someone chooses to focus on another activity instead of keeping their full attention on the road. In Missouri, every driver has a legal obligation to pay attention and exercise the highest degree of care while driving. This means they must act as a very careful person would under the same or similar circumstances. Our state’s jury instructions reinforce this standard, making it clear that distracted driving is not only dangerous but also a violation of that duty of care.
If you’ve been injured by a distracted driver, Count on Cantor to hold them accountable and fight for the justice you deserve.
Distracted driving is Negligent
Distracted driving takes many forms, whether it’s a driver focusing on kids in the backseat, handling a pet, or using a mobile phone or other electronic device. Other distractions include using entertainment or navigation systems, eating or drinking, talking with passengers, or even personal grooming like doing hair or applying makeup.
When a driver engages in any activity that takes their attention away from the road, they fail to meet Missouri’s legal standard of the highest degree of care. This lack of attention is considered negligence, and under Missouri law, a distracted driver is liable for the damages, injuries, and property damage caused by their actions. If you’ve been harmed by a distracted driver, we’re here to hold them accountable and fight for the compensation you deserve.
