Distracted Driving Crashes in New York
All drivers are expected to keep their focus on the road. Unfortunately, with the growing popularity of smartphones and mobile devices in the United States, what should be a simple task is becoming nearly impossible. New York has a particularly bad issue with distracted driving. In fact, the state was ranked as the ninth-worst in the nation for driver distraction. An estimated 12 percent of roadway fatalities in the state from 2017 to 2021 involved a distracted motorist, contributing to 563 out of 4,785 roadway deaths. Drivers who fail to pay attention to the road should be held responsible for their actions in the event of a life-changing car accident.
