Distracted Driving Crashes

Hurt by a distracted driver in Houston? Leatherwood Law is ready to fight for you.

Houston distracted driving accident lawyer Hogan Leatherwood

Texting. Scrolling. GPS. Food. Distractions are everywhere—and they’re causing more crashes than ever. If you were injured because another driver wasn’t paying attention, you deserve to be compensated for your injuries, lost wages, and pain.

At Leatherwood Law, we hold negligent drivers accountable when their distractions behind the wheel cause harm. Whether the crash occurred on I-10, 610, or a neighborhood street in Houston, we’ll investigate the facts and fight to get you paid.

Distracted driving is a form of negligence. And under Texas law, that means you may be entitled to financial recovery—even if the police report didn’t mention texting or phone use directly.

Let us gather the evidence and take on the insurance company while you focus on healing.

Common Causes of Distracted Driving Accidents

  • Texting or reading on a smartphone
  • Scrolling social media or apps while driving
  • Using in-car GPS or navigation systems
  • Eating or drinking behind the wheel
  • Adjusting music or climate controls
  • Looking away from the road to talk or reach for something

What Compensation Can You Recover?

If a distracted driver caused your crash, we’ll fight to recover compensation for:

  • Medical expenses and follow-up care
  • Lost income and future earnings
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Property damage and car repairs
  • Long-term disability or rehabilitation
  • Wrongful death damages (if a loved one was killed)

Why Choose Leatherwood Law for a Distracted Driving Case?

  • We investigate deeply: From phone records to traffic footage, we gather evidence to prove distraction and negligence.
  • Local Houston insight: We know the roads, traffic patterns, and how to deal with local adjusters and courts.
  • No upfront fees: You only pay us if we win your case.
  • Personal service: Attorney Hogan Leatherwood treats your case with the respect and attention it deserves.

What to Do After a Distracted Driving Crash

  1. Call 911 and get a police report – Don’t leave the scene without an official report on file.
  2. Get medical treatment – Even if you feel okay, injuries may appear hours or days later.
  3. Document the scene – Take photos of the cars, road, and anything the other driver was doing.
  4. Call Leatherwood Law – Before giving any statements to the insurance company.
