What Is Distracted Driving?
Distracted driving is more than just driving while using a hand-held device. Whenever a driver diverts their focus away from the road or removes their hands from the wheel, this is considered to be distracted driving. It only takes a second-long distraction for a serious or fatal accident to occur.
Examples of distracted driving include:
- Texting and reading texts
- Talking on the phone
- Eating
- Grooming
- Taking pictures or streaming live video
- Applying makeup
- Changing your music
- Talking to other passengers
- Reading a newspaper, map, or book
While these activities can be able classified as distracted driving by an insurance adjuster or personal injury attorney, currently the only activities banned by law are talking on the phone and texting while driving. Illinois law also prohibits cell phone use while driving in a school zone or a highway construction zone.

It's hard to know where to begin, as the care, diligence, legal professionalism, and results delivered by Ted and his team were extremely meaningful to my family. Ted's personal attention to my case was beyond expectations and the results show.

Ted McNabola is an amazing attorney! He handled my mom’s case after she was hit by a car as a pedestrian. The difference between Ted and other attorneys is that he never gave up! It was a long process of 3 years but when other attorney’s would have given up just to make some money on the case, Ted refused to do so!! In the end he got my mother EVERYTHING she was asking for! Thank you Ted for never giving up!!!!- Kat J.
