Most distracted driving claims come down to proof: witness accounts, cell phone records, and sometimes app usage data. We move quickly to preserve that evidence before it becomes harder to obtain.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1How do you prove a driver was texting at the time of the crash?
We can subpoena cell phone records and, when relevant, app usage data to establish a timeline showing phone activity around the time of the crash.
2Is talking on a hands-free device against the law in Georgia?
Georgia’s hands-free law focuses on holding or physically supporting a phone; hands-free use is generally permitted, though any distraction can still factor into a negligence claim.
3What if the other driver denies using their phone?
Phone records, witness statements, and even dashcam footage can help establish what really happened regardless of what the driver claims.
