Auto Accidents Caused by Cell Phones

 

Auto accidents can be devastating to everyone involved. If you were the person who was injured, your quality of life may be forever altered. The person who caused the wreck and injured you will be consumed by feelings of guilt. However, the negligent party in an accident is considered liable and therefore the injured person is entitled to compensation for their suffering.

 

Statistics

 

A study conducted by the Pew Research Center found that 47 percent of adults text while driving, and 34 percent of teens  of driving age do so. In addition, 74 percent of adults who own cell phones talk on their phones while driving.

 

Another study found that drivers who text are six times more likely to crash.

 

Given these numbers, it can be assumed that many accidents are now caused by cell phone use.
