What “Manual Distractions” Means
Manual distraction is hands-off-the-wheel driving: texting, eating, reaching for objects, adjusting devices, grooming. With one or both hands occupied, reaction options shrink precisely when milliseconds matter.
Why It Matters in Your Texas Case
Manual distraction often leaves physical corroboration — the spilled drink, the phone on the floorboard, the food wrapper — and digital traces our discovery targets: phone usage records, infotainment logs, app data. Combined with reconstruction showing absent or delayed evasive action, these turn “it happened so fast” into a proven choice to drive partially disabled. Texas juries understand hands-off-wheel driving instantly, which is why insurers settle proven distraction cases rather than defend them.
