Dangers of Texting and Driving
If you’re going 55 MPH and you take your eyes off the road for five seconds you’ve traveled the length of an entire football field.
With this new danger emerging on our freeways, states are trying to figure out the proper measures to take to prevent this distraction from happening. Some are putting up signage reminding the driver to avoid texting while driving. Other states have passed laws saying that it’s now illegal to use your phone unless you’re on a hands free headset. If you are hit by a driver who was texting, you should contact a personal injury lawyer Seattle who can help you file a legal claim.
