Distracted driving often leads to accidents, such as head-on crashes, resulting in injuries or damages. If you are in a car accident in Ontario, CA due to distracted driving, you may file a claim to receive compensation for the damages.
However, note that you must first clearly demonstrate that the other driver's distracted driving violation directly caused the collision. Generally, proving negligence in a car accident involves establishing the following elements:
The driver had the duty to ensure the safety of all road users.
The driver did not fulfill this duty.
A car collision occurred as a result of the breach of duty.
The accident caused injuries or other damages.
While you have the right to file a car accident claim, determining liability for the crash may pose challenges, such as limited evidence to support your claim. Depending on the unique circumstances of the collision, an Ontario car accident lawyer can assess the specifics and determine liability to build your case.
