Texting and Cell Phone Accident Attorney
Drivers who use their cell phones while driving — whether to make a phone call or to send or receive a text message — are putting themselves and others at risk. Although Florida has not yet caught up with other states that have banned cell phone use or texting while driving, it soon will. Cell phone use and texting while driving are extremely dangerous habits that cost thousands of people their lives and even more to suffer serious injuries.
Unfortunately, and in defiance of all common sense, many people continue to use cell phones or send or receive text messages while driving. As a result, the number of accidents involving distracted drivers has sharply increased over the last few years and many innocent people have been irreparably harmed.

Personal Advocacy From a Injury Lawyer
While talking on a cell phone and responding to a text message may seem like trivial acts, they put conversations (that could have been delayed) ahead of safety and can destroy lives.
According to a study conducted by the University of Utah, using a cell phone while driving delays a driver's reactions just as much as if the driver's blood alcohol content was .08 percent. Another study conducted by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute revealed that sending or reading a text message takes the driver's eyes off the road for the amount of time it would take to travel the entire length of a football field (4.6 seconds). These driver distractions are careless, reckless and negligent.
Our West Palm Beach injury attorney digs deep to identify negligence such as texting while driving. If the other driver was talking on the phone when the accident occurred or had just sent a text message prior to the accident, phone records will show this information. And, while it does not constitute a traffic violation as it does in other states, it still reveals how the other driver's negligence caused your suffering. We will exert the energy and resources necessary to hold the driver responsible and will not settle for anything less than what you deserve!
