Distracted Driving Accident

Answer:

We see it everywhere these days. People are paying more attention to their phones than they are to their driving. How many times have you sat at a light waiting for someone in front of you to look up from their phones and start moving again?

Did you know that studies from the University of Utah show that texting and driving is as much as six times more dangerous than drunk driving? Six times more dangerous. When a person is drunk, their perceptions are slow, but when texting, there’s no perception. There’s no awareness of what’s going on around the driver, because their head’s down and their eyes are looking at a telephone. This gives them zero reaction time, should they need to make a quick response to avoid injuring someone.

Here at the Brad DeBry Law Firm, we sue distracted drivers. We’ve seen too many lives destroyed because somebody needed to see that video, or they just had to get that text sent out. It changes lives forever. Please, please, don’t drive distracted.
