Don’t Text and Drive: Stay Safe and Know Your Rights

We all know the first rule of driving: Keep your eyes on the road. But with smartphones in nearly every pocket, staying focused has become harder than ever. Texting while driving pulls your attention away from the road and can lead to serious accidents.

Have you been hit by a driver who was texting? At Morgan and Morgan, we understand how unfair it feels to suffer because of someone else’s carelessness. Our team is here to help you get compensation for medical bills, car repairs, and more. Remember, consulting with us is free, and there’s no obligation.

Why Texting and Driving is So Risky

It only takes a second of distraction to change lives. Here’s what typically happens when drivers text:

• Sideswipes: Drifting out of your lane can easily happen without continual small steering adjustments. Texting drivers often miss these cues.
• Head-On Collisions: If a distracted driver swerves into opposite traffic, it could lead to a head-on crash. These accidents can double the impact speed and are extremely dangerous.
• Rear-End Crashes: Not noticing that traffic has stopped can lead to a rear-end crash, potentially causing a pile-up and common injuries like whiplash.

What to Do If You’re in a Texting and Driving Accident

If you find yourself in an accident caused by a texting driver, here’s a quick checklist:

• Safety First: Call 911 if there are any injuries.
• Document Everything: Take photos of your car, any injuries, and the scene. Swap insurance information with the other driver.
• Get Legal Help: Contact us at Morgan and Morgan. We’ll handle the insurers, help prove the other driver was at fault, and fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

Tips to Avoid Texting and Driving Accidents

• Just Don’t Do It: The best way to avoid a texting accident? Don’t text and drive.
• Use Voice Commands: If you must communicate, use voice-to-text features and keep your eyes on the road.
• Be Aware: Watch for signs of texting in other drivers, like swerving or erratic speeds, and keep your distance.
