Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of accidents in Arizona and across the entire United States, with cell phones and smart phones being an especially common way for drivers to distract themselves behind the wheel. Even though this behavior is expressly illegal under Arizona state law, far too many people in the Phoenix metro area still choose to do it, and sometimes—as you may have unfortunately learned—they cause serious traffic collisions as a result.
If you are dealing with injuries you suffered in a texting while-driving car accident in Chandler, which you were not at fault for, you have help available from a seasoned auto accident attorney for pursuing fair financial recovery. No matter what losses you have sustained or what experience—if any—you have with civil litigation, Phillips Law Group can guide you through the legal process and ensure your claim has the best possible resolution.

What Does State Law Say About Texting and Driving?
It is against the law in the Grand Canyon State to use any kind of handheld portable electronic device while operating a motor vehicle unless the device is being used in hands-free mode. This prohibition applies not just to cell phones and smartphones but also to devices like tablets, laptop computers, and music players, and supporting one of these devices with any part of the body qualifies as holding it in this context.
Under Arizona Revised Statutes § 28-914, someone who violates this rule is subject to civil penalties. Separately, though, violating this law also constitutes a violation of the duty of care all drivers have to act lawfully and safely on the road. Someone who gets involved in a Chandler car wreck while violating this texting while driving law could be held civilly liable for that wreck based on their negligence.
Suing a Texting Driver for Specific Damages
Of course, the easiest way to prove someone was texting behind the wheel prior to getting into a traffic accident in Chandler is to see if there is a traffic citation for texting and driving included in the accident report written by police who responded to the scene. If there is no such citation or no accident report at all, a skilled lawyer can help gather and effectively present other forms of evidence like witness testimony, dashboard/traffic camera footage, and subpoenaed cell phone records.
Either way, someone found at fault for causing a crash through this sort of misconduct can be made to pay financially for every negative effect that crash will have on the injured person filing suit, including:
- Medical bills
- Physical pain and suffering
- Lost work wages and working capacity
- Emotional and psychological trauma
- Car repair/replacement costs and other expenses related to personal property damage
- Lost enjoyment of life and other intangible effects of permanent disfigurement/disability
Once again, support from capable legal counsel can be key to identifying compensable damages and maximizing available recovery.
What Our Clients Are Saying
Denise C.
Phillips Law Group made dealing with our auto accident easy. They always had our best interest in mind and made sure that we were happy with treatment before finalizing anything. Our Paralegal, Amy Wagner, is amazing! She checked in on us throughout the entire process to make sure our treatments were going well and that we were getting better, getting healthy was first priority. She kept us informed on the progress of our case every step of the way and was very prompt with either calling or emailing us back with any questions that we had. We are very satisfied with our experience with Phillips Law Group, and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of representation!
Squaw Peak Realty
I never thought it could happen to me, I had heard about it on the news, but truly never thought it could happen to me. I was rear ended by a drunk driver. I was lost on what to do. My car insurance company would give no directions, I and my grandson were injured, my little pick- up was smashed, I was not the one who was at fault, but I felt like I was because I could get no help on what to do! You would think that your car insurance company would at least point you in the right direction. So, I contacted Phillips Law Group, I truly never ever thought I would need the help they provided...
Jeffrey J.
Phillips Law Group helped me out a lot with my motorcycle accident. They're attentive to your needs, always have answers to your questions, and answered all my calls, never leaving me in the dark. I highly recommend Phillips Law Group.
Anthony W.
I just wanna say that I’m young and have never had an incident needing something like Philips law and I’m glad I went with them. After my accident I was paralyzed with stress on how am I gonna recover from this what do I do, but they literally took majority if not all the worry away. I really only went to my appointments and kept them updated as much I can and eventually helped me win my case. It was a quick process as well for receiving compensation very grateful. Thank you!
Sherman S.
One of the best experiences I have ever had dealing with a accident attorneys. They made me feel welcomed. They definitely listened to me and help guide me through this process with ease. There was no surprises and they made sure I was taken care of every step of the way. The best phone I made the night of my accident and God forbid any other accidents come my way but if so they will definitely be my very first call again. Best law group In PHX.
Whitney W.
I want to say for this being my first accident and unclear on what to do. They were amazing, from communication and making sure you have everything you need. The other insurance was giving me a hard time with my rental, I called my attorney at Philips Law Group and they made sure I had a vehicle to get around. They made sure I got the best care with amazing staff. They handle my case with care and at the end they still make sure I am okay. I appreciate you guys for not taking advantage of me and putting me first. It was not about the money but making sure I had everything I need and what was owed...

Darren M.
I feel that I was truly blessed to find the Phillips Law Group after being involved in a bad car accident. My attorney and the staff were professional and very supportive. The firm provided compassion and sound legal advice while we navigated my insurance claim. I highly recommend giving them a call if you are involved in an accident with bodily injuries. The firm set me up with healthcare providers and really went the extra mile to help me with my case. I’m happy with my settlement and for all of their help.
Tea J.
Aaron my attorney and Jasmine my paralegal were great. Throughout the settlement process, Jasmine did a great job of keeping me in the loop of everything going on. It is a long process but being reassured during the process was helpful. Throughout the process I was provided a chiropractor and physical therapist and they all made sure that I was taken care of and feeling better before releasing me. I was also provided a trauma therapist. Though I still think about the accident and struggle here and there, my therapist did a great job of giving me the help i needed in the months following the accident. I hope to never go through this again but if need be, I...
Mary S.
Amazing Law Firm after getting the run around from the Insurance companies, I decided to call Phillips Law Group and initially spoke with Randy he was so helpful and kind, he truly cared about my situation and was explaining to me everything about what typically happens after an Accident....It just so happened to be exactly what I was dealing with. I felt at ease during our conversation like a weight had been lifted and at that point, I knew I made the right decision contacting them, and shortly there after I retained their services. I was contacted by my Attorney and Case manager within and hour and they assured me all my needs would be met - helping me with...
Grant F.
Having never been in automobile wreck before, I found myself in uncharted territory. Thankfully I ended up choicing Phillips Law Group. They took charge of my case! I want to especially acknowledge McKenna, my case manager. Without her listening -- to my good days as well some bad days due to injuries -- I would have been lost. If you ever need a Law firm, think about talking to Phillips Law Group. You won't be sorry.
Matt S.
I had a fantastic experience during a difficult time. In particular, my paralegal Brittany was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions in a timely manner and made the process very smooth. I would definitely recommend.
