Holding Distracted Drivers Accountable
Per Montana law, distracted driving is defined as any activity that a person engages in behind the wheel that takes their attention away from the road and, therefore, increases their chances of getting into an accident.
Hoyt & Blewett PLLC accepts cases involving a wide variety of distracted driving, including but not limited to:
- Texting and talking on the phone
- Looking at a navigation app or GPS
- Eating meals or snacking
- Drinking coffee or other non-alcoholic beverages
- Drowsiness, stress, and other mental preoccupations
- Adjusting climate controls and other vehicle settings
- Rowdy or otherwise distracting passengers
Whichever form of distracted driving it was that the at-fault driver engaged in leading up to your accident, you will have to prove it to recover compensation. Our experienced auto and trucking accident attorneys will help you prove your case through accident investigation, accident reconstruction, subpoenas, and more. We will not leave any stone unturned when compiling your case.
Montana Distracted Driving Laws
Currently, Montana is the only state that does not have statewide legislation prohibiting distracted driving. Several cities and counties have, however, banned texting and driving, as it has proven to be the leading type of distracted driving — and the most dangerous. Great Falls, Bozeman, Helena, Missoula, Billings, and Butte are several of the cities and counties in which drivers are prohibited from texting behind the wheel.
Do not be deterred from taking legal action if the at-fault driver was engaging in another form of distracted driving besides texting. All motorists are legally obligated to drive with care and not endanger others on the road, and the law considers all forms of distracted driving a violation of this obligation due to its dangers. Thus, accident victims may bring forth lawsuits over a vast array of driver distractions.
