Distracted Driving Crashes in Oklahoma

When someone else is driving, you never know what they will do behind the wheel. Sadly, Oklahoma drivers have a reputation for being careless on the road. Speeding and distraction are both commonplace on the state's roads. Drivers who aren't paying attention have quickly become one of the main reasons for major accidents in the United States, causing over 3,000 deaths and many more serious injuries every year. At highway speeds, you can go the length of a football field in the time it takes to send one text message. One of the worst things you can do while driving is texting, but other things that can take your attention away from the road are talking to a passenger or fiddling with the radio, which can be equally dangerous. It can be difficult to get the full recovery you are owed after a crash on your own.
