Contact attorneys who can hold that person accountable.

This Is a Roadway, Not Your Home!
Some drivers don't seem to understand the dangers of multitasking while driving or taking their eyes off the road:
- Sending or receiving text messages
- Talking on a cell phone
- Using a laptop or other electronic device
- Shaving or applying makeup
- Eating and drinking
- Singing and "dancing" to loud music
- Reading books, newspapers or maps
- Reaching down or reaching into the back seat
- Looking sideways or over the shoulder to talk to passengers
The Dangers of Cell Phones and Texting While Driving
The U.S. Department of Transportation estimates that one in four traffic accidents is caused by distracted driving and reports that cell phone use/text messaging is the No. 1 distraction. Many studies have proven that text messaging at the wheel is particularly dangerous — the driver's attention is diverted from the roadway for several seconds at a time and that person's reaction time is no better than someone who is legally drunk!
We can conduct a thorough investigation to hold a distracted driver accountable for serious injuries or a loved one's wrongful death. We rely on witness statements, physical evidence at the scene and law enforcement reports, and if necessary we can obtain the driver's cell phone records to prove that he or she was talking or texting while driving.
