Texting while driving is rapidly becoming one of the most pervasive causes of injuries involving motor vehicles. 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.
Laws prohibiting texting while driving first came on the books in Washington state, in May of 2007. 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.
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.
