Personal injury attorneys are seeing more and more car wreck cases caused by people (primarily teens or people in their twenties) who are texting while driving (in fact, a lot of my time lately has been spent working on just such a case).
It’s such a problem that I’ve devoted a number of posts to the subject. They include:
- Oprah Takes On Distracted Driving
- Another Story On Texting And Driving
- Auto Accidents & Text Messaging (a resource page containing a number of links)
- In Study of Truck Drivers, Texting While Driving Proves To Substantially Increase Wreck Risks
- More Studies Confirm Texting While Driving Is Worse Than Driving Drunk
- Text Messaging (and Twittering) While Driving (another resource page with links)
Now, my friend Steve Lombardi, a Des Moines, Iowa injury lawyer, is getting in on the action. Yesterday, he had a great post on Texting While Driving – A Deadly Combination. Steve has some great thoughts on the risk, but what I really like about his posts are the embedded videos. This is a problem where the public service announcements that are coming out are really more powerful than either of us could write. Take a moment to stop by Steve’s blog to check out the videos. You won’t be disappointed.
