Experienced Legal Help Following a Car Accident Caused by Cell Phone Use
Car Accident Legal Help in New York City since 1950
The bumper sticker "hang up and drive" illustrates the public's frustration with drivers who drive carelessly while talking on the phone. Talking on cell phones behind the wheel is extremely dangerous, however, texting while driving is probably even worse.
In 2009 the New York Times reported that people who text while driving are 23 times more likely to cause an accident than those who do not text. Drivers who cause accidents, injuries and wrongful death because they take their eyes off the road to text, then, are guilty of negligence. Accident victims should hold negligent drivers accountable for their losses, which can include lost wages, medical expenses, damage to a vehicle, diminished earning capacity and pain and suffering.

We tailor our services to respond to and address the unique circumstances of each case we handle. In cases involving texting while driving, our services will involve a full investigation into the circumstances of the case, including the likelihood that the driver was texting when the accident occurred. We will also pursue phone records to document the inappropriate phone usage. This will allow the judge to charge the jury with the law which prohibits the use of cell phones while driving (with certain exceptions).
