Texting & Driving Accidents
Why Is Texting While Driving So Dangerous?
Despite the safety warnings, too many people text and use smartphones while driving. These actions take drivers’ eyes and minds off the road and their hands off the wheel. The result is that distracted drivers fail to pay attention to traffic and road conditions. In addition, they cannot react quickly enough if they do notice things such as traffic signals or a stopped vehicle.

Our Attorneys Can Seek Damages For You
Drivers can be distracted by anything — the radio, other passengers, pets — but smartphones provide numerous new ways to keep drivers’ attention elsewhere. Some of the most common cellphone and smartphone distractions in the car include:
- Texting
- Talking on the phone
- Using social media
- Using apps
- Playing games
- Playing music
- Taking photos and selfies
Any of these distractions can lead to accidents such as rear-end collisions, head-on collisions, T-bone collisions, multicar pileups and rollovers.
Accidents such as these can leave drivers and passengers with injuries that range from broken bones and back injuries to traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. Victims may experience long, painful recoveries and be unable to return to their job or care for their family.
