Distracted driving can lead to devastating accidents on Texas roads. With thousands of fatalities and hundreds of thousands of injuries caused by distracted driving every year in the U.S., knowing your rights after a wrongful injury is essential to protect your health, safety, and financial well-being. If you were harmed by a distracted driver in Dallas, you deserve compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses.
At J. Alexander Law Firm, our distracted driving accident lawyers are dedicated to holding negligent motorists accountable in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. We understand the immense hardships that come with a wrongful injury, which is why our firm provides high-quality representation to alleviate stress and help you take back your life after an unanticipated accident. Our attorneys have years of experience to pursue maximum compensation, freeing you to focus on your recovery.
Distracted driving refers to any activity that takes a driver’s attention away from the road. Common examples include texting, talking on the phone, eating or drinking, adjusting music or navigation systems, grooming, and even daydreaming. If you were harmed by a distracted driver, you may be eligible for compensation under Texas law.
While it’s impossible to eliminate every single distraction while driving, motorists are obligated to pay attention to the road. When distracted driving results in a car accident, victims may be eligible to seek compensation in a distracted driving accident claim. Common distracted driving accidents leading to lawsuits include:
While it’s possible to sue a distracted driver even if you are partially at fault, understanding how modified comparative negligence works in Texas is crucial to determine whether you have a valid claim.
Also known as the 51% rule, the modified comparative negligence rule allows plaintiffs to seek compensation as long as they are less than 51% at fault. Plaintiffs who are more than 50% responsible for the accident will be ineligible to recover damages.
In the event that you share less than 51% of the fault, the total amount of damages will be reduced by your share of liability. For example, if you bear 15% of the fault in a lawsuit totaling $100,000, you may only be entitled to $85,000 in compensation (15% less than the original value).
Yes. Under Texas’ Hands-Free Law, drivers are prohibited from using handheld devices to read, write, or send electronic messages while operating a vehicle (Texas Transportation Code § 545.425). This law was passed in 2017 to reduce distractions and improve road safety. Violations of the hands-free law constitute negligence and may be used as evidence to support your claim for damages. If you were injured in an accident involving a driver who violated this law, this can significantly strengthen your case in a lawsuit.
Yes, you can. While hands-free devices generally don’t constitute a violation of Texas’ Hands-Free Law, you can still sue the driver if the device contributed to the distracted driving accident. Even if the hands-free device didn’t contribute to your injuries, this doesn’t necessarily rule out other evidence of distracted driving.
Because the plaintiff bears the burden of proof in personal injury cases, seeking sound counsel is a must to navigate the legal complexities of causation and liability in your claim. Your lawyer can assist with gathering evidence and build a robust case on your behalf, improving your chance of obtaining a fair settlement.
The standard of proof in a distracted driving accident lawsuit falls on the plaintiff, meaning you must provide sufficient evidence to prove that the other driver’s negligence caused your injuries. It’s important to partner with an experienced attorney who can fortify your claim with compelling evidence, such as witness testimonies, medical records, police reports, security camera footage, expert statements, and other evidence.
To establish liability, you and your lawyer must demonstrate these key elements:
Distracted driving accidents can have serious and long-lasting consequences. The impact depends on various factors, including the speed of the vehicle, the nature of the collision, and whether the victims were wearing seat belts. Common injuries from distracted driving accidents include:
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury in a distracted driving accident, it’s essential to seek legal help. You may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

You may be entitled to compensation for:
