The Reality of Distracted Driving in Houston
Distracted driving is a serious and pervasive problem on Houston’s roadways. With a population exceeding 2.3 million and a bustling metropolitan area, Houston experiences a high volume of traffic daily. This constant flow of vehicles, coupled with a fast-paced lifestyle, creates an environment where distractions are easily introduced.
There are three main types of distractions that drivers face:
Cognitive
Drivers take their minds off the road by daydreaming, thinking about personal issues, or engaging in conversations.
Visual
Drivers look away from the road, such as checking a phone or turning to talk to passengers.
Manual
Drivers take their hands off the wheel, for example, reaching for objects, texting, or adjusting controls.

Understanding Fault Allocation
Distracted driving usually involves multiple parties at fault. Even if you’re partly at fault, you can still seek compensation. Many states have “comparative fault” laws. These laws let at-fault parties claim damages. However, rules differ by state. For example, some allow compensation if you’re over 50% at fault. Others limit it to those under 50% at fault. Compensation usually decreases based on your fault level.
