Personal Injury Law

The devastation of losing loved ones is extremely painful.  When it is due to negligence it makes it even more painful.   

Studies have shown that the leading cause of driver distraction is cell phone use.  In January 2007 a survey was conducted by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co.  The survey of 1,200 drivers found that 73 percent talk on cell phones while driving.  Cell phone use by young drivers was highest.  Text messaging by young drivers is another major distraction causing motor vehicle collisions.  The Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety and Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) conducted a survey in August of 2006 showing teens considered sending text messages while driving was their biggest distraction.  Nineteen percent of motorists say they text while they drive.
