CELL PHONE ACCIDENT ATTORNEY FARMERS BRANCH

In this age where high technology communication devices have become so common, many drivers seem to have forgotten that they need a high level of concentration every time they are behind the wheel. Driving without focus often results to distracted driving accidents that had caused serious physical injuries or wrongful death to many people. The prime reason for distracted driving seems to be cell phones and there is a belief that teenagers are the ones who are most likely to use a mobile device while driving. However, there is a report released by the Pew Research Center that shows that adults can be more likely to use cell phones while driving.

The survey found that teens are less likely to talk on the cell phone than adults while operating a motor vehicle. Approximately 75 percent of adults who has a cell phone have used it while driving. In contrast, only 52 percent of teenagers who own a cell phone used it while behind the wheel. It is no wonder then that each year, around 6,000 drivers are killed in the United States because of distracted driving accidents.

One should not get the idea that talking and texting on the cell phone is the only cause of distracted driving accidents though, since there are many other caused of such mishaps. These include eating while driving, personal grooming, operating the radio or CD player, taking care of children who are also in the vehicle, getting behind the wheel with pets and talking with passengers while driving.
