Texting While Driving – Alpharetta Car Accident Lawyer
Injured by a texting driver?
If you or a loved one has been injured in a
car,
truck or other vehicle accident, it may be that the driver was texting while
behind the wheel. In some cases the driver may admit that this occurred,
while in other cases, it may be necessary to subpoena cell phone records
to fully establish liability. In many texting while driving accidents,
the collision is a rear-end accident, as the texting driver, while focusing
on a cell phone or other digital device, does not realize that the vehicle
ahead has come to a stop.
Rear-end accidents are extremely dangerous, often leading to broken bones, head and brain
injuries, as well as cuts, internal injuries and other devastating consequences.
At The Kalka Law Group, we represent the injured in car accident injury
claims, including those involving texting while driving.
Texting While Driving is Illegal
Teen drivers are prohibited from using cell phones while behind the wheel
at all, but many young drivers cannot restrain themselves from reading
or typing text messages while behind the wheel. Texting while driving
has been prohibited under state law since 2010. Drivers in the Alpharetta
area, as well as the rest of Georgia, unfortunately rank high on the list
of drivers who use cell phones and send or read text messages while driving.
This illegal activity puts all other drivers in the area at extreme risk
of injury or death. As a driver who is focused on a cell phone cannot
possibly be aware of the road ahead, these negligent drivers tend to swerve
out of lanes, cross intersections at red lights, or fail to observe a
driver who ahead who has come to a stop.
