Cell phones have become all but the focal point of the debate about distracted driving, as well as distracted pedestrians. They are arguably the most common way for drivers and pedestrians to become distracted in and near our roadways and cause needless accidents that can result in serious injuries and even death.

When behind the wheel of a car, it can take only a split-second of distraction for an accident to occur, and looking at or using our phones can take much longer than that. Similarly, pedestrians who are crossing or about to cross a roadway while looking down at their phones are far more likely to get in the way of a moving vehicle simply because they are not watching their surroundings when they should be.

Distraction can certainly qualify as negligence, and when a driver’s or pedestrian’s negligence directly results in an accident, that party must be held accountable for the damages. With an experienced personal injury on your side, you can rest assured that your rights are protected and you are in the proper position to be compensated for your injuries and losses.
