Each day, car accidents caused by distracted driving kill more than nine Americans, and leave 100 more injured. For this reason, the National Safety Council (NSC) has declared April Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Observing Distracted Driving Awareness Month provides an opportunity to recognize the dangers of distracted driving and eliminate preventable deaths.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the Highway Loss Data Institute have recently released the results of a survey on distracted driving in the U.S..

About the Survey Results

IIHS research indicates cell phone usage contributed to more than 800 crash deaths on U.S. roads in 2017. An IIHS roadside survey indicates motorists were 57% more likely to use a cell phone versus a survey from 2014.

The percentage of motorists caught using cellphones went up from 2.3% in 2014 to 3.4% in 2018. At the same time, a 2018 national survey conducted by the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety reveals that 64% of those who responded tell us distracted driving is a bigger concern as compared to three years ago.

Identifying Distractions

Roughly 23% of drivers observed were engaged in at least one distracting activity beyond cellphone use. These included:

  • Manipulating the Car’s Audio System
  • Manipulating Climate-Control Systems
  • Manipulating Electronic Devices
  • Talking or Singing While Driving
  • Operating Other Vehicle Systems
  • Eating or Drinking While Driving
  • Personal Grooming While Driving
  • Reading Printed Materials

Thank You for Everything

I would like to take time to thank the staff at Daggett Shuler Attorneys at Law. To Megan Youngblood for helping me get my disability started; thank you so much for everything!

Olivia Winston

Outstanding

My experience with Daggett Shuler was amazing. James Cohn was the attorney I worked with for my workers’ compensation claim. He is an awesome attorney. I was injured while on the job performing my duties with a local company, and the next Monday was fired because they did not want to pay my medical bills. After going to Daggett Shuler they looked after me throughout the process. The Daggett Shuler team was outstanding in their professionalism and empathy.

Daggett Shuler Will Have Your Back

I was expecting it to take years to get disability and Daggett Shuler went above and beyond to get it as quickly as possible. They got the disability awarded in 6 maybe 8 months tops. I would recommend Daggett Shuler to anyone filing a disability claim. These guys will have your back for sure!

Couldn't Be More Pleased

A wonderful law firm who personally takes care of your issues. Workers’ Comp can be a nightmare in so many ways so it is good to have an exceptional attorney with that experience guiding you through the process. Griff Shuler was my attorney and I couldn’t be more pleased with the way he handled my case.

Pat Bovender
