Texting and Driving Accident Lawyer
Texting while driving is one of the most insidious traffic hazards of our times. Experts say that the distraction of any conversation reduces a driver’s ability to concentrate on what is happening outside the car. If you have been injured by another driver’s negligence, you should contact an attorney to explore your legal options.
The Dangers of Texting and Driving
Whether a driver is talking to passengers or talking on a cell phone, conversing with others apparently takes away some alertness. Texting while driving also involves aversion of eyes from the road as well as hand activity. The sum total can be deadly. A driver who is absorbed in texting activities may miss seeing another car stop or change lanes, noticing a curve in the road or noticing a pedestrian.
Cellphone records can provide evidence that a driver was engaged in texting or phone calls at the time of an accident. Insurance companies, driver safety nonprofit advocacy groups and government agencies have all reported and documented countless tragic crashes in which driver distraction was apparently a factor.
Police may or may not make notes about another driver’s cellphone use activities at the time of an accident. However, a vigilant personal injury lawyer on your side can initiate accident reconstruction. A detailed investigation can turn up evidence that the driver who struck you or collided with your car, truck, motorcycle or bicycle was texting and driving. Information of this type can strengthen your case.
