- Texting While Driving Accident Claims
According to a study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the top cause of distracted driving is the use of a cell phone.
While portable devices like cell phones and hand held computers have generally made our lives much easier, unfortunately, many people use these devices during their daily commutes, or when running errands around town. As a result, the likelihood of being involved in a distracted driving car accident has increased significantly. In a supplementary survey that was also sponsored by the NHTSA it was noted that of the 6,000 drivers that were questioned, an overwhelming amount supported increased law enforcement efforts to curb aggressive driving – which included using photo evidence, greater fines, an increase in vehicle intervention by officers and also a push for greater public awareness of this problem.

Texting While Driving Accidents & Causes
According to the United States Department of Transportation, there are three main types of driver distractions. These include:
- Taking your mind off of driving.
- Taking your eyes off of the road.
- Taking your hands off of the wheel.
While texting and driving is legal in certain parts of Arizona,in Phoenix, there is a city-wide ban on texting while driving. If a driver is found guilty of texting and driving and causes a car accident, they can be fined up to $250.
Texting & Driving Accident Lawsuits
In a study conducted by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, it was discovered that a driver who is texting while behind the wheel is 23 times more likely to be in a motor vehicle collision than other drivers.
Using a cell phone while behind the wheel is comparable to operating a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol and contributes to approximately 18 percent of all auto accidents nationwide. Furthermore, 21 percent of annual fatal teenage car wrecks are also attributed to texting while driving and other cell phone usage.<
While proving negligence in a typical auto accident case can be hard, proving that texting while driving caused an auto accident can be even more difficult. One of our experienced attorneys can help prove that negligence and increase the chances of you receiving a favorable outcome for your personal injury lawsuit.

Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.
