As cellphones become more and more a part of everyone’s life, many people make the mistake of believing that talking on or using a cellphone to text or scan the Internet while driving is a harmless activity. It is not. Numerous studies show that the use of a cellphone while driving creates very similar risks to those posed by drunk drivers. Texting and driving can cause rear-end collisions and a wide range of other types of accidents.

Distracted drivers are less safe than drivers who are not using cellphones in a wide range of key performance areas, including:

• Failing to notice essential traffic signals (stoplights, stop signs, activated brake lights)
• Following too closely to other cars
• Braking more slowly and less forcefully

How Do You Prove Someone Was On Their Cellphone?

We pull phone records and gather other relevant evidence such as data from a car’s computer that can tell us car speed, position and other information to be able to prove that the driver who caused your accident was using a cellphone. We also work with accident reconstruction experts to help us show the other party’s negligence.
