Texting While Driving

Your Texting While Driving Case Calls For Aggressive Legal Representation

Texting while driving is rapidly becoming one of the most pervasive causes of injuries involving motor vehicles. Drivers who text frequently cause rear end collisions. They may also cause serious injury to a pedestrian if they are looking down at their texting keyboard while approaching a crosswalk. What is a novelty to some has become an act of destruction in the hands of those who don't stop texting when they're behind the wheel of their car or truck.

Texting and traffic law

Laws prohibiting texting while driving first came on the books in Washington state, in May of 2007 in an effort to reduce auto accidents. Since then, regulatory action against the practice has been initiated in dozens of other states. And no wonder: one Nationwide Insurance study indicated as many as one in five drivers send or receive text messages while driving — an especially hazardous activity when it becomes a cause of a semi truck accident.

On highways, on residential streets, in mall parking lots, texting while driving is creating new hazards for other motorists and pedestrians. You need a hard-hitting personal injury lawyer to pursue the settlement to which you are entitled if you have been injured by such negligent, irresponsible behavior.
