California Texting While Driving Accident Attorneys
Throughout the United States, almost everyone has a cellular device of some kind with text messaging capabilities. Texting has become one of the easiest ways to communicate with the people you know and love; however, driving while texting has become the quickest way to cause a serious auto accident.
Texting While Driving Ban
In the state of California as of 2008, using an electronic device to write, send, and receive text messages while operating a motor vehicle is illegal unless you are a member of emergency personnel. If you are found driving while texting, you may incur a fine for each offense. At the time, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed the bill in an effort to reduce the number of accidents, personal injuries, and deaths on California roads resulting from texting while driving.
Fighting for Compensation
If you have been seriously injured as a result of another driver’s inattention caused by driving while texting, you may be eligible for compensation. Some of the most commonly reported injuries resulting from texting while driving accidents include:
- Head Injuries
- Brain Injuries
- Back Injuries
