Driving While Distracted in Dallas

Driving While Distracted (i.e. driving while talking on a cell phone) is extremely dangerous. Recent studies have shown that drivers who are using cell phones are four times more likely than drivers who are not, to be in an accident, making driving while talking on a cell phone just as dangerous as drunk driving. Texting while driving has been found to be even more dangerous. Recent statistics show that roughly 73% of all drivers admit to driving while talking on their cell phones and another 19% admit to texting while driving.

Driving While Distracted is a hot topic among lawmakers currently. Eighteen states have made it illegal to talk on a cell phone while driving. In response to successful personal injury lawsuits against them, many employers are banning cell phone usage while driving by their employees. Even in cases where no specific law forbids cell phone usage while driving, there are legal ramifications. In personal injury disputes between two drivers involved in an accident, if one driver was using a cell phone and one was not, juries are increasingly likely to side with the driver who was not distracted. This means that, if you have been in a Dallas auto accident involving a driver on his or her cell phone, you may have a strong personal injury lawsuit. Contact the Dallas auto injury attorneys at Grossman Law Offices and make sure you get the compensation you deserve.
