While hands-free technology within vehicles may seem more convenient than using a cell phone or other device, it can also offer distractions of its own, resulting in needless accidents on the road. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident due to a distracted driver, speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible.

Over 100 people lose their lives in auto accidents each day, according to the National Safety Council, and an estimated 9% of these fatalities are caused by distracted drivers. While hands-free modes on phones or other screen-devices allow the driver to keep his/her hands on the wheel, they can still force drivers to take their eyes off the road and distract the mind even when the hands and feet are where they should be.

In any case, drivers are legally responsible for avoiding distractions while operating a vehicle, and if you’ve been injured in an accident involving a distracted driver, contact our office today for a free consultation and we will ensure that your rights are protected.
