What Happens if You’ve Been Injured in a Car Accident Caused by Someone Texting or Talking on a Cell Phone?

By Personal Injury Lawyer on February 4, 2010

There are issues that come up with car accidents that were caused when negligent drivers use their cell phones while driving, either because they are talking on their phone or texting a message. The first issue is proof. How can anyone prove that the other driver was using his or her cell phone at the time of the accident and how can you tell if he or she was texting someone while driving?

Also, just because a person was using a cell phone while driving does not mean that the driver is negligent. Getting a person’s cell phone records is an important initial step in proving your case. Usually, a lawsuit or subpoena is required to obtain cellular telephone documents and records and thus help to prove the driver’s negligence.
