Miami Distracted Driving Accident Lawyer
In 2008, distracted driving accounted for almost 6,000 deaths nationwide, along with more than 500,000 injuries, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Although as of 2010, Florida did not have a law specifically outlawing the use of cell phones while driving, there is no doubt that cell phone use while driving is careless and can lead to serious car accidents. It is not always immediately apparent after a car accident whether the at-fault driver was texting or using a cell phone. Nonetheless, a knowledgeable Miami distracted driving accident lawyer knows the investigative techniques to use to determine whether cell phone use or any other distraction was part of what caused the negligent driver to crash.
Depending on the exact circumstances, a driver who causes an accident because of cell phone use may be liable for criminal negligence. In such cases, it may be possible for the auto accident victim to seek punitive damages as well as compensatory damages. Auto accident victims should make sure to ask their car accident lawyers to investigate whether cell phone use could have caused the accident that injured them. Injured in an auto accident?
