Holding Drivers Accountable For Texting, Talking And Other Types Of Distracted Driving
We live in a time when people are always tempted to multitask. Unfortunately, many people don’t shut off that desire for constant input, even when they’re driving. People take pictures out of their car windows, post status updates at lights, search for alternate routes on their GPS during rush hour and respond to text messages while they’re driving.
If you suffered injuries in a car accident because another driver was distracted, it’s important to work with a lawyer who can help you receive the compensation you need and deserve.

Is It Ever Safe To Text And Drive?
Anything that takes a driver’s eyes or attention off the road is a distraction. Examples of distracted driving include:
- Eating or drinking
- Fixing hair or makeup
- Driving under the influence (DUI)
- Using a GPS, even if it is attached to the dashboard or windshield
- Talking on the phone, even when using a hands-free device
- Sending or reading text messages
- Surfing the Internet
In Massachusetts, it is illegal to text while behind the wheel. Unfortunately, many people still check their phones frequently while driving. If a distracted driver hits you, I can help you hold them accountable for their negligence.
