Texting While Driving – A Deadly Combination

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.
