Texting Survey Raises Car Crash Risk 23x So Says Survey

July 30th, 2009

I just came across a recent survey which shows that texting while driving increases the chances of being involved in a car accident by 23 times. It seems that new technology only complicates things including the risk of getting injured in a car accident.

Texting is the next thing, which as supported by the survey, may entail increased crashes as reported annually by the Oregon Department of Transportation.

Certainly a crash by a texting driver will look bad to a jury so any car crash clients would benefit by a lawyer who can proof an aggravated liability claim which I would argue is exacting what texting would fall under when a car crash injury scenario follows.
