A driver who glances at a text message travels the length of a football field without watching the road, at highway speed. That momentary lapse can end with a totaled car, a serious injury, or a life lost. Distracted driving is not a small lapse in judgment; it is a choice that puts everyone on the road at risk, and it happens far more often than most people realize. If you or someone you love was hurt because another driver was not paying attention, you need answers about what happened and who is responsible.
Roy Injury Law is here to help you find them. Chris J. Roy, Jr. and John J. Roy are third- and fourth-generation attorneys who grew up watching their family fight for people harmed by someone else’s negligence. That history shapes how we treat every client who walks through our door: not as a case file, but as a neighbor who needs help.
Many people do not take distracted driving seriously because they are focused on their own habits behind the wheel, not on the danger those habits pose to others. The reality is that a distracted driver endangers everyone around them. Here are some of the victims who most often come to us for help:
If you believe the driver who hit you or your loved one was distracted, reach out to us immediately.
Distracted driving takes many forms, and not all of them involve a phone. Louisiana drivers get into serious crashes because of:
Any one of these can take a driver’s eyes, hands, or mind off the road long enough to cause a serious wreck. That is why we move quickly to build your case. Evidence like phone records and witness accounts can disappear fast, and the sooner we start working, the stronger your claim will be.
Louisiana takes distracted driving seriously and has passed several laws aimed at keeping it off the road:
If the driver who hit you broke one of these laws, that violation can serve as strong evidence in your claim. A citation or clear violation of a distracted driving law helps establish that the other driver was negligent, which is a key part of proving liability in your case.
Getting injured by a distracted driver is hard to process. This was not an accident caused by bad weather or poor road conditions; it was a person who chose to look away from the road, and now you are paying the price for that choice. You need a legal team that makes this difficult time a little easier to carry. Here is how we do that at Roy Injury Law:
When you have been hurt by someone else’s careless choice, you deserve a team that treats your recovery like it matters, because to us, it does.
A distracted driver can change your life in seconds. If you’ve been injured, you deserve someone who will listen to what happened, take your injuries seriously, and fight for you with heart. Roy Injury Law is here to do just that. Schedule a meeting with our distracted driving accident attorneys today.
Proof often comes from phone records, in-vehicle data, surveillance or dash-cam video, witness statements, and the police report. An attorney can subpoena phone carrier records and preserve evidence before it disappears, which strengthens your claim significantly.
A denial does not end your claim. Evidence such as phone records, traffic camera footage, accident reconstruction, and witness testimony can establish distraction even when the driver disputes it or claims they do not remember.
Hands-free devices still count as distractions under Louisiana law for certain drivers, like bus operators and minors. Even when legal, hands-free use can support a negligence claim if it took the driver’s attention off the road.
Warning signs include drifting between lanes, inconsistent speed, delayed braking, failure to react to traffic signals, or a driver looking down. These behaviors often appear in witness accounts or dash-cam footage after a crash.
Distracted driving is one of the most deadly threats on American roads. In 2024 alone, distracted driving took 3,208 lives . These crashes are largely preventable, yet they continue to happen because drivers choose to look at their phones, eat, or shift their attention away from the road. If a distracted driver injured you or killed a loved one, the consequences are real, and the driver can be held accountable.

Thanks, Ms. Donna, for doing your best to help David Hardy with what he needed.
I highly recommend Mr. Chris Roy & his staff. They made sure I was accommodated after I was involved in a motor vehicle accident early this year. I was impressed by how they handled everything, including police reports, ambulance transport, etc., and all parties involved. Thank you!
Chris really came through for our family during our legal issues. He and his assistant worked diligently to get this handled and settled as quickly as possible with the least amount of burden to us as possible. I would definitely use him again should the need arise and highly recommend him for any legal work. Thank you, Chris and Margaret, for all your help and for keeping the communication lines open throughout the process.
I was really hesitant to make the call as I had never experience what I was going through. Chris and Ms. Margaret were so patient, pleasant and very empathetic to my needs and situation. I would recommend Chris to anyone needing an Attorney! Not once did they make me feel as if I was a client and that within itself was the best feeling ever! Thanks again!!!
