Get help finding the Right Texting Accident Lawyer for your case
Using cell phones while driving is a leading distraction on today's roadways. Texting has become one of the most dangerous of cell phone activities. According to the National Safety Council, over 200,000 crashes each year happen because of texting accidents. Although it is completely illegal for anyone to text at anytime while driving in California, drivers frequently continue to do so.
Texting while driving is particularly dangerous because it requires the driver to have his or her hands off of the wheel, continually look down to read, and mentally not focus on the road. Teenagers are especially at risk for texting accidents because they are less experienced at driving and more prone to texting.
The reaction time of those that send, type or read text messages while driving is far slower than those that are not distracted on the road. Texting accidents account for nearly one quarter of all auto accidents nationwide. Serious injuries or fatalities can easily occur. Car damage or other property damage is also likely.
Drivers responsible for texting accidents are prosecuted fully for their negligence. Distracted driving caused by cell phone usage, especially texting, is just as dangerous as drunk driving.
If you have been in an traffic accident due to another person texting while driving, an attorney can help protect you and your rights. Negligence on the road is a serious offense. There are strict no-texting laws in place to prevent texting accidents from happening; however, they are still a dangerous threat while on the road. A personal injury attorney can help collect evidence and prove that the other party was liable for texting while driving. You may be entitled to receive compensation for your losses.
