There are many examples of negligent driving, such as the use of alcohol or drugs while behind the wheel, using a smartphone while driving or speeding. Unfortunately, these behaviors can lead to a motor vehicle crash which causes victims to suffer injuries or even pass away. Worse, some reckless drivers deny that they were doing anything wrong. For example, you may have noticed that a driver who caused a crash was using their phone, but they may say that this is not true.
In the immediate aftermath of a crash, it is very important to pay attention to any relevant details. For example, if you notice that a driver is intoxicated, or that they were on their phone or reaching for something on the floor when the crash happened, this could have a significant impact on your case if you decide to take them to court.
