Cell Phones and Driving Accidents
If you are behind the wheel of a vehicle, make sure not to distract yourself with a mobile device. According to a recent study by the National Safety Council’s annual injury and fatality report, cellphones are said to have caused 26 percent of the nation’s auto accidents in the past year.
One common misconception is that texting and driving are the major causes for accidents with a mobile device, however only five percent of these were due to texting and driving. The rest involved people using a handheld or hands-free cellular device. This goes to show you that even though you may think talking on the phone is not as bad as texting, not focusing on the road in front of you is not safe.
If you were involved in a crash with a driver who was distracted by their mobile device or any other electronic, make sure to contact us today. You shouldn’t have to pay for anyone else’s negligence and distractions on the road.
A very important fact to know is that every time you drive and talk on your cellphone, your risk of being involved in a crash increases by 400 percent!
