Texting and Driving
Negligent driving is the number one cause of car accidents. Much of this negligence is caused by distracted driving. Every day, millions of people choose to drive while talking on the phone, eating, or looking at a GPS device. Another growing cause of distracted driving accidents is related to text messaging and driving. It is a new form of distracted driving activity that is costing thousands of lives.
If you or a loved one has been injured due to a motorist who was texting while driving, it is important to hold him or her accountable. There is nothing to make up for the pain and suffering this driver has caused, but there are ways to seek justice under the law.

Dangers of Texting and Driving
Awareness about the dangers of texting and driving is growing, but many people still take to this form of communication while driving. By choosing to do so, they are putting those around them at risk of serious injury. The following are the primary ways texting affects one’s ability to safely control a vehicle:
- Eyes are taken off of the road
- Hands are taken off of the steering wheel
- Mind is distracted by sending or receiving the text message
Clearly, individuals who engage in this type of activity should be held accountable when innocent people suffer harm as a result. If you or a loved one has been harmed by a negligent driver, you may be eligible to receive compensation for medical bills, property damage, and other related expenses.
