Accident Injuries Caused By Distracted Driving

You’ve probably seen it before: a driver completely neglecting to pay attention to the road and instead, bent over texting while driving. Cellphone use and driving is one of the most common types of distracted driving. Some studies have even shown that using your cellphone, especially texting, while on the road is worse than drinking and driving. It only takes one second of looking down to fail to stop, yield, or take notice of another vehicle or pedestrian.

The Price For Texting And Driving In New Jersey

If another driver caused your accident and injury because he or she was texting while driving, he or she is not only likely negligent thereby causing the accident, but is also breaking the law. Operating a wireless device (such as a cellphone) while driving is illegal in New Jersey. In fact, the fines for this illegal act have been officially increased by the legislature recently in July 2014. Just a first offense means $200 in fines and $400 for a second offense.

But these fines are nothing compared to what injured victims have to endure. In worst-case scenarios, loved ones are killed because of such senseless and thoughtless acts. Other instances of distracted driving include eating, reading, applying makeup, shaving, operating a GPS, and other acts while driving. No matter what type of distracted driving accident your family has suffered from, we are here to seek justice for you.
