Collisions Caused by Drivers Texting and Talking on Cell Phones
At the turn of the century, a new threat arrived on Pennsylvania's roads: cell phones.
Recently the state has begun cracking down on people who are caught texting or talking on cell phones, simply because this is one of the leading causes of distracted driving accidents. No matter what steps the state takes, there are still people who pay more attention to their phones than the road, putting lives at risk in the process. When these people cause serious injuries, the law firm of Marcus & Mack takes action. We mean business.
How Do We Determine Cell Phone Use?
Having handled personal injury cases since 1977, our Pittsburgh cell phone accident attorneys know the importance of a thorough motor vehicle accident investigation. In some cases, investigation may not be as important. If the negligent driver admits cell phone use to the police officer at the accident scene, that will appear in the police report. Witnesses may have seen the negligent driver with cell phone in hand prior to the accident.
Sometimes though, we need to dig deeper to determine that cell phone use was the cause of the motor vehicle accident. We will obtain cell phone records that will show times when calls were placed and text messages were sent. This often provides us the hard proof we need to show the other driver's negligence and hold him or her accountable.
