Cell Phone-Related Accidents
Distracted driving from cell phone use causes preventable crashes. Our team preserves evidence and proves negligence.
Driving has always been a potentially dangerous activity, given the size and strength of every vehicle combined with the possibility of a malfunction or a driver error. Unfortunately, the risk of avoidable mistakes is getting higher and higher thanks to advances in technology and changes in how these new technologies are used.
By now, texting and driving is an infamous hazard on the road, comparable to drunk driving without the alcohol. But texting is just one of the many ways that a smartphone can lead to distracted driving. Many people are tempted to check their email while driving, as well as the news and social media. And even more responsible drivers who are able to ignore these distractions often still rely on GPS maps and directions to navigate.
