Holding a Distracted Driver Liable for Your Losses
To recover compensation after a distracted driving accident, you must show that another party’s negligence caused your injuries. In most cases, this means proving four key elements:
- Duty of care: Every driver has a legal responsibility to operate their vehicle safely and follow Florida traffic laws.
- Breach of duty: A driver breaches that duty by engaging in careless behavior, such as texting, using social media, eating, or otherwise taking their attention off the road.
- Causation: You must show that the driver’s distraction directly caused the accident and your injuries.
- Damages: Finally, you must demonstrate that the crash resulted in losses, such as medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, or other damages.
Proving negligence isn’t always straightforward, especially if the insurance company disputes liability. Our attorneys investigate every aspect of your accident, gather evidence to establish fault, and build a compelling case designed to maximize your recovery.

Call UsYou Have a Limited Time to Act After a Distracted Driving Crash
Florida law generally gives injured accident victims two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline could prevent you from recovering compensation through the courts.
Because evidence can disappear and witnesses’ memories can fade, it’s important to act as soon as possible. An experienced attorney can preserve critical evidence, protect your rights, and ensure all legal deadlines are met.

Frequently Asked Questions
What If the Distracted Driver Denies They Were Using Their Phone?
Even if the other driver denies being distracted, other forms of evidence may prove negligence. An attorney can investigate the crash, gather evidence, and work to demonstrate how the driver’s actions caused the accident.
Can I Recover Compensation If I Was Partially At Fault?
Possibly. Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you may still recover compensation if you were 50% or less responsible for the accident. However, your percentage of fault will reduce your final recovery.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Distracted Driving Accident Lawyer?
Meldon Law handles distracted driving accident cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no upfront attorney’s fees, and you owe nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
What Should I Do After a Distracted Driving Accident?
Seek medical attention as soon as possible, report the accident to law enforcement, document the scene if you can, avoid discussing fault with the insurance company, and contact an attorney to learn about your legal options.
