Driving While on the Phone
The slightest distraction can cause a driver to lose his or her focus on the road. Anything from opening a can of soda to answering a cell phone can take a driver's eyes off the road. When this happens, the results can be devastating.
At Alford & Bertrand, LLC, our Boston texting and driving attorneys have a great deal of experience representing clients who have been injured in car accidents. Cell phone usage has become an integral part of most young adults' lives. As a communication and research tool, a cell phone is never far from a young person's hand. This fact is not lost on Massachusetts law makers who have passed legislation that prohibits anyone younger than 18 to use a cell phone in any capacity while driving a car.
Losing concentration, even for an instant, while driving can lead to disastrous results. The chance for accidents and serious injuries increases with the amount of time focus is lost. The use of a cell phone as a texting tool is one of the worst things a driver can do. Attention must be taken from the road and given to the phone to both type messages and read responses. If you were injured in an accident caused by a driver using a cell phone, it is important to contact an experienced lawyer immediately to learn more about your options for recovering compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
