California has stringent laws regarding the use of cell phones while driving. Drivers are only allowed to use cell phones while driving if they are using a hands-free device. Texting while driving is not allowed in any circumstance. Despite these laws, drivers continue to talk, text and drive. These negligent actions place innocent motorists in harm's way, causing injuries and deaths.
Berman More Gonzalez is a Santa Ana auto accident law firm that holds distracted drivers accountable for the harm they have inflicted on other motorists. We assist clients throughout California who have been injured by people who were talking or texting while driving. We handle serious personal injury and wrongful death claims that arose from car accidents on state highways and interstates such as I-55, I-91 and I-405.
A Distracted Driver Is Not a Safe Driver
For more than 20 years, our personal injury law firm has represented people who have been injured by the negligence of other drivers. Over the years, we have seen the types of distractions grow from looking at maps while driving, eating while driving, applying make-up while driving and others to distractions involving technology. Now, people continue to eat and put on make-up while driving in addition to looking at GPS units, setting up a DVD for their kids and adjusting the many electronic devices in their cars.
As Orange County texting while driving car accident lawyers, we know that adding a cell phone to a car environment adds another distraction. When a person looks down at their phone to type, send or read a text, their eyes are taken off the road and the surrounding traffic. Even if it is "just for a quick second," it is enough time to cause a texting while driving accident.
Many of these drivers may have already received a warning or a ticket for texting while driving. Each subsequent ticket brings increased penalties and higher fees. The drivers who do not abide by California state law, as well as those who did not heed the first warning, put innocent motorists in harm's way.
