How do I Prove The Other Driver was on his Cell Phone
How to Prove a Distracted Driver Caused Your Motorcycle or Car Crash in Iowa
Introduction
When a distracted driver causes a crash, evidence disappears quickly. Victims who act fast stand the best chance at proving liability and recovering damages.
The First 48 Hours
- File a police report.
2. Document the scene with photos and witness statements.
3. Contact an attorney immediately to preserve cell phone evidence.
4. Avoid speaking with the other driver’s insurer before representation.
Building the Case
Attorneys use subpoenas to obtain phone records, expert analysis for timing correlation, and reconstruction to prove causation. Distracted behavior can justify punitive damages for reckless disregard of safety.
Motorcycle & Pedestrian Cases
For motorcyclists, distracted drivers are especially deadly. Smaller profiles and reduced visibility mean even brief distraction causes catastrophic results. Same for pedestrians. With pedestrians you are totally unprotected and at the mercy of the distracted driver and having an open escape route.
Conclusion
If you or a loved one were hit by a texting driver, act now. Evidence fades fast, but accountability doesn’t. At Lombardi Law Firm, we keep insurance companies honest — and distracted drivers accountable.
