Texas drivers urged to stay off their cell phones while driving

by | Jul 11, 2019 | Car Accidents |

Distracted driving is a serious concern in most communities these days. One large Texas community northeast of the Edinburg area was named by one study as the worst place for distracted driving in the nation. Medical professionals in the area who treat and care for victims of car accidents recently urged drivers to put down their phones while driving. Distracted driving is to blame for one out of every five accidents in the area.

Texting while driving is illegal in Texas and some hope that there will soon be a statewide ban on cell phone use while driving. Others have focused on incentives to keep drivers in the area off their phones while driving. Distracted driving can result in car accidents that cause serious injuries and death that can harm mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and other loved ones. As a result, it is essential for victims of car accidents and their families to be familiar with the legal resources available to protect them.

Personal injury legal resources can help victims of distracted driving-related car accidents pursue a claim for damages against the driver at fault for their accident and the reason they have experienced the damages they are suffering. A personal injury claim for damages can help injured victims and their families recover physical, financial and emotional damages from the distracted driver responsible for their accident.

Only if victims of car accidents and their families are familiar with the legal protections available to them can they ensure their interests are protected and that they receive the help they need with their medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering damages. Victims of distracted drivers should be familiar with the important legal remedies available to them.
