Obtaining Compensation In Crashes Caused By Texting And Cellphones

Distracted driving has become a nationwide problem, contributing to 5,474 fatal traffic crashes in the United States in 2009 (according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).

While the California legislature has taken considerable measures to prevent distracted driving accidents by banning all drivers from using handheld cellphones while driving — for calls, texting, checking email, etc. — thousands of accidents still occur each year due to distracted or inattentive driving. Sadly, many of these distracted driving accidents could have been prevented and resulting catastrophic injuries and fatalities could have been avoided.

Thorough Investigations To Back Up Your Case

Whether texting, talking on the phone, or using a cellphone for any other reason while driving, cellphone use takes the driver’s attention off the road and delays driver reaction time. Serious accidents can occur as a result when:

  • The inattentive driver fails to see a pedestrian in a crosswalk
  • The inattentive driver causes a rear-end car accident at an intersection
  • The inattentive driver fails to see a motorcyclist and causes a motorcycle crash
  • The inattentive driver changes lanes, causing a collision

At Avila & Shaddow Attorneys at Law, we not only work with accident reconstruction experts and other specialists when investigating a car accident case, if inattentive driving is suspected, we seek to obtain cellphone records that indicate when calls were made as well as when texts were sent or received. We use this information to demonstrate that the other driver’s carelessness directly caused the car crash and the suffering of our client. Additionally, in working closely with clients and medical professionals, we obtain a clear picture of our clients’ suffering, enabling us to fully convey this to the insurance company or to a jury.
